Practice Administrator:

Ahren

Ahren joined the Sharkus team in 2019. She is originally from Oregon, moved around on a few other adventures, and ultimately returned to her roots. She has worked in the dental field for over 15 years and loves learning about everything related to the dental world. She is very excited to be working and assisting others in her hometown.

When not at work, Ahren enjoys spending time with her boyfriend and daughter. She devotes her time to traveling and exploring new places, golfing, cheering on the Badgers, Packers and Cubs, or watching reruns of Friends.

Her favorite quote to live by is, “The best things in life are the people you love, the places you go, and the memories you make.”

Registered Dental Hygienists:

Nicole

Nicole has been with Sharkus Hometown Dentistry since it opened in 2014. Her favorite part about being a dental hygienist is building relationships with her patients while giving them the best care possible. She considers each patient a friend.

Outside of work, Nicole enjoys spending time with her husband and two daughters. She considers her children her greatest accomplishments. She also stays active in the community with volunteer work and helps with her family’s business, Fairway Auto Auction. She absolutely loves animals, and her dream someday is to have a rescue for animals.

Erica

Erica is an Oregon native and works as a dental assistant/hygienist at Sharkus Hometown Dentistry!

Having grown up in Oregon, Erica loves seeing familiar faces and giving back to her small town community. She feels lucky to call this her home. She loves getting to know her patients, as well as their families. Her number one focus is to provide high quality care along with a comfortable and positive experience. There are so many people who are terrified of stepping foot inside a dental office and if she can change that for one person, that is her goal!

Erica and her husband have two young daughters and a golden retriever. They love spending time with their amazing family and friends. Their hobbies include camping, boating, and watching Packers football. Some words of wisdom Erica loves to live by are, “Be kind, work hard, stay humble, smile often, stay loyal, be honest, travel when possible, never stop learning, and love always!”
