I was born and raised in Harlingen, TX. After graduating from Harlingen High School, I attended the University of Texas, Pan American, in Edinburgh, TX. GO LONGHORNS! I have had the pleasure of traveling for the last 16 yrs. I was a civilian employee for the U.S. Army in Okinawa, Japan, prior to living in Navarre. I have three beautiful children; 16 yr. old twin girls and a 9 yr. old son. I enjoy singing, working out, and watching sports!

I have been in the dental field for the last 14 yrs. I received my National Boards Certification in ABQ, NM in 1995. I have been to many continuing educational courses throughout the years, and was also awarded the Achievement Award by the U.S. Army. I am fluent in Spanish.

I now reside in Navarre, Fl. My family and I have resided here for the last 3 yrs and hope to make it our permanent home. I am so excited to be a part of such an awesome state of the art dental practice and such a great team! I am looking forward to meeting each and everyone of our guests.

In 2005, I left Navarre and my friends at Ottley Smiles Dental Center, to follow my husband to the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado, Springs, Co. We loved our time there and it was a great experience for our children, now 11 and 9. We spent four years enjoying the mountains, hiking, and snowboarding. Now we are happy to be back home in Florida. I'm looking forward to reconnecting with old friends, relaxing on the beach, and planning our military retirement!

Lyndsi was born and raised in North Little Rock, AR. After graduating high school and attending the University of Central Arkansas for two years, Lyndsi completed a degree in biology in May 2005 from Southern Nazareen University. Lyndsi moved to Navarre to be with her boyfriend who is stationed at Hurlburt Field for the next five years.  They enjoy working out, playing volleyball, eating at McGuire's Irish Pub, and laying out on the beach.  Lyndsi has always had an interest in the health sciences field, which is what brought her to Ottley Smiles. She looks forward to coming to work everday because she likes the work she does and is surrounded by the most kind-hearted people she knows.

Dyanne Upton was born and raised in St. Joseph, Michigan, where she met and married her husband, Bill (he was raised in Pensacola).  They have two children; one is a chocolate lab named Snicker and the other a miniature poodle named BiGi. They moved several times with Bill's job, living in Walla Walla, Washington, Pocatello, Idaho, and Neenah, Wisconsin. After three years in Wisconsin (three cold years), they had a mid-life crisis and decided to leave their jobs, sell their home, put their furniture in storage, purchase a motor home, and see the USA for a year. Living in a motor home, they learned to survive in a small space with 2 adults and 2 dogs and still got along. They visited friends and relatives all over the United States, as well as experiencing so many sites and tastes of our wonderful country, like the giant redwoods in northern California and fresh caught lobsters in Maine. After the year was over, they chose to live in Gulf Breeze as they loved the weather here and the water. Their wandering days are over with and they no longer have the urge for wheels under their feet.
