Victoria, Director of Operations

Undergoing Invisalign treatment was actually what sparked Victoria’s interest in orthodontics in the first place! Today, she’s thrilled to be helping each appointment run smoothly at Willow Bend Orthodontics alongside Dr. Jones, Dr. Hanson, and the rest of the team. She attended Texas A&M University and is a first-generation graduate – gig ‘em, Aggies!
At home, Victoria and her husband Tomm have two dogs named Levi and Timber. Outside of working hours, you can typically find her bike riding, hiking, camping, visiting various state and national parks, and simply enjoying the outdoors. She also loves baking at home – she can make a mean chocolate chip cookie – and is currently practicing her embroidery.
