Tamiah

Office Administrator

I have been in the dental field since 2015. Throughout the years I have played many different roles, including scheduling coordinator, treatment coordinator, manager, and even back up dental assistant when needed. I will be the first face to greet you when you come in the door, and I look forward to building long lasting relationships with all our patients. I'm so happy to have found a work place to call home and a true "work family" here at Dr. Herrick's Office. He and his team are truly a joy to work with.

In my free time I enjoy hiking, spending time with my four kitties, tending to my plants and enjoying a cup of coffee. You can often find me vacationing with my husband and traveling whenever possible. I look forward to meeting you!

Katelyn

Financial Manager

I have been a part of the dental field for over ten years. As financial manager, I enjoy guiding our patients through their visit from the initial phone call, to checking out after a great dental experience. I strive to stay knowledgeable about all dental treatments and insurances to give patients the best understanding about their dental treatment. I look forward to coming to work each day knowing I’ll be working with the best team to help our patients attain the healthy, beautiful smiles they deserve!

I grew up in Rainier and now live here locally with my husband Robert and our daughter. Outside of work you can find us at the motocross track riding dirt bikes or spending time with our two huskies, Moto and Ryder outside!

Mindy

Registered Dental Hygienist

I’ve been a dental hygienist for 17 years and in that time, have become passionate about educating people on the importance of oral health. I really enjoy getting to know each of my patients personally and making them feel comfortable in the dental chair. I love that I get to work with such an incredible team that also finds time to have fun every day!

I was born and raised in Washington and now live in Mason County with my best friend and husband, Justin, our goofy yellow lab, Nacho and our sweet black lab, Griz. We enjoy traveling, backpacking, hiking, and taking advantage of everything the Pacific Northwest has to offer.

Julia

Registered Dental Hygienist

I am absolutely thrilled to be the newest member of Dr. Herrick's team! My journey in the field of dental hygiene began with a Bachelors of Science degree from Pierce College. From a young age, I cherished my visits to the dentist. I'm well aware that not everyone shares the same enthusiasm, and that's where I come in. My goal is to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, so my patients feel like part of our dental family.

My roots trace back to a small town just outside of Pittsburgh, PA, but I made the move to Olympia in 2016. Outside of work, I find joy in traveling with my partner, Tim and spending quality time with our two delightful corgis. Music is another passion of mine and I'm proud to be part of a local classic rock cover band know as Pumphouse!

Fay

Registered Dental Assistant

I have been a dental assistant for more than 20 years and still love what I do! It’s my job to guide you through your dental visit and make you feel comfortable. I love seeing patients leave excited about their new smile. I joined Dr. Herrick’s office in 2012 and feel so lucky to work with a team that works hard and laughs just as hard.

Outside of work, my husband and I enjoy watching baseball and football. I’m very proud of my son and daughter who both granduated from Oregon State University…Go BEAVS! I also have a crafty side and like relaxing while scrapbooking and making greeting cards.

Maggie

Registered Dental Assistant

I've been working in the dental world for 10 years now. Throughout the years, I have worked as both a dental assistant and front desk. I really enjoy educating patients on their dental health and easing the dental treatment process for them in any way possible. In 2023, I joined Dr. Herrick and his incredible team. I am so happy to be part of this amazing office in such a meaningful field!

I grew up on Whidbey Island and moved to Lacey in 2019 with my husband, Antoine. We have two loveable dogs, Piper and Star and we also foster dogs when we can. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, traveling, reading and trying new hobbies and projects that I'll never finish!

Haylee

Registered Dental Assistant

I have been a dental assistant for 5 years and joined Dr. Herrick's office after moving to the area in 2020. I have been intrigued by teeth for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I would beg my dad to pull my loose baby teeth! I really love caring for our patients and helping them feel comfortable, while also getting to know them personally. I am grateful to be a part of an office that feels like a second family!

I was raised in Central Oregon and moved to Washington with my husband to be closer to family and buy our first home. Our lives changed and our family grew when we welcomed our son, Archer in January 2022. We also have a lab/border collie named Ollie and 2 kitties that keep us busy. Another aspect of my career is as an online nutrition and fitness coach and really enjoy helping others reach their goals while living a healthy lifestyle.
