Jess is our lead DA. Originally from Chicago, IL, her family relocated to Rogers, AR in the mid 90s so her parents could take over the family business on Beaver Lake after her grandparents retired. Jess spent her childhood playing every sport she could, including soccer, volleyball, fastpitch softball, and even pole-vaulted for her high-school track team. She graduated from Rogers Highschool in 2008, and went on to get her Associates of Science from Northwest Arkansas Community College. She spent her early 20s working in the restaurant business. During that time, she was able to help her sister-in-law open and run a pizza place in Fayetteville, AR. (If you’re ever in the Fayetteville are, check out Marley’s Chicago Style Pizzeria and Bar just off the University of Arkansas campus!)
Jess went back to school to finished her degree and graduated from Southern New Hampshire University in 2023 with a BA in Public Health.

Her whole life she has enjoyed spending time outdoors. Hiking, camping, floating a river or taking the boat out on the lake. Her dogs have always been constant companions on all her adventures. When she’s stuck inside, she loves to do puzzles, read and play video games with her friends online. She moved to the Kansas City are from Fayetteville, AR back in December 2024. She’s loving the new area and couldn’t be happier working at Tara Boyle’s office. She takes great pride in helping people with their oral health and does her best to make sure her patients are comfortable and confident when they’re in her chair. She loves assisting in the process of giving her patients the smiles they all want and deserve!

Kristen, hailing from Piper, Kansas, started her college career on a volleyball scholarship at KCKCC. She later traded in her volleyball shoes for textbooks at the University of Kansas, earning a degree in Health Information Management. After that, she spent a decade at Cerner, navigating the worlds of IT, Resource Management, and Human Resources. Along the way, she somehow squeezed in an MBA from Ottawa University because, why not?

Kristen and her husband then embarked on an expat adventure in London, visiting over 24 countries. Between indulging in new cuisines and confusing local customs, she even managed to train offices in Paris, Germany, and Dubai. After returning stateside, she transitioned to full-time “domestic engineer,” raising three kids and mastering the chaos.

When COVID hit, Kristen decided it was time for a new challenge. Dr. Boyle offered her a chance to dive into the fast-paced world of dental assisting, and she’s been loving every moment since—well, at least the ones without drills! Now, she’s thriving in a role that combines her passion for learning with a newfound love for patients and coworkers.

Hey there! I’m Abbie, and I’ve been lucky enough to spend over eight years working as a Dental Assistant in Texas, Iowa, and now the Kansas City area.

When I’m not at the office, I’m busy at home with my husband Beau, our two lively kids Luke and Avery, and our two adorable dogs, Oakley and Murphy. We love going on adventures together—whether it’s floating down rivers, camping under the stars, or enjoying a leisurely walk, we are always looking for a good time.

I’m a huge fan of reading, and I’m always on the lookout for the next great book to dive into. I also have a soft spot for Mexican food (who doesn’t love tacos?), and I’m never far from a Coke Zero. Making people laugh is one of my favorite things, whether it’s with my co-workers or our wonderful patients.

The best part of my job? Hands down, it’s making sure that every patient feels comfortable and leaves with a big, happy smile. I love knowing that my work helps brighten someone’s day—and, of course, sharing a few laughs along the way.
