I am one of Drs. Leone and Vaughn’s clinical assistants. I have seven years of orthodontic experience and have been with this practice for three years. I got into orthodontics because I enjoy working with people and providing exceptional care while being hands-on with each patient. I also enjoy working with our great team. I have a daughter named Qulani who is five years old. I love volunteering at her kindergarten class and we enjoy swimming together the most.

I'm a native to the Seattle area and have been working in the dental field for over 30 years. About 18 years ago I changed from working in general dentistry to orthodontics and have never looked back. Here at Leone and Vaughn Ortho, I work with patient financing, billing and insurance. I love seeing the difference having a beautiful smile can make in our patients’ self -esteem and appearance. I have three grown, married children and six beautiful grandchildren. I love spending time with my large family, as well as boating, gardening, and traveling with my husband and friends.

I am one of the treatment coordinators at Leone and Vaughn Orthodontics. I have over nine years of experience working in the dental field. I have a passion for orthodontics and for assisting our wonderful doctors with educating patients on their orthodontic needs. I also love watching the transformation from when a patient comes into our office for their initial exam and the way they leave after their orthodontic treatment has been completed. When I’m not at the office, I enjoy spending time with my adorable daughter, Kaylee.  Together, we share a love for the outdoors, especially the beach, going on walks, and watching football!

Hi! I’m an orthodontic assistant at Dr. Leone and Dr. Vaughn Orthodontics. I’ve been assisting since 2002 and have been at Leone and Vaughn’s since 2006. I enjoy getting to know our patients and helping our doctors create beautiful smiles for them. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my two year old daughter, Mischa, and my husband, Jarrett.

Jessica-Volk

I am the assistant to the lead clinical assistant here at Leone and Vaughn Orthodontics. I started here as an intern in 2006 and have been with the practice ever since. I love working here because the atmosphere is fun and the doctors are amazing at what they do. I also love seeing patients so frequently and seeing the end result after treatment is complete. When I am not at work I enjoy watching TV on DVD, working out, and hanging out with my husband, Travis, and dog, Zissou.

Laura-Kormondy

I love coming to work every day because I always have a good time getting to know our patients. I work with amazingly talented people and I get to tell people I work for the best orthodontic team around. I was born in Olympia, WA and graduated from Washington State University with a degree in Food Science and Human Nutrition. While attending college I coxed the women’s rowing team and was a member of Pi Beta Phi sorority. After graduation was when I discovered my true passion for orthodontics. I plan on continuing my education in the dental field, but in the mean time I am enjoying skiing, running, hiking, yoga, Pilates, bowling, cycling, and pretty much any other physical activity that beautiful Seattle has to offer. 

Tracy Martin

I have been in the orthodontic field for six years and have held a variety of positions. Seeing the transformation of a person's smile is incredibly rewarding for me. I have a huge passion for orthodontics and this has inspired my pursuit towards a marketing degree, helping me spread the word of the benefits of orthodontics to the public. I could never see myself in any other industry and am so proud to be working with a team of such caliber. When I am not at work or school, I can be found at the dog park with my puppy, Knox, or watching a movie with my husband, Charles.

Tuesday

I am a treatment coordinator here at Leone and Vaughn Orthodontics. I am so excited to be a part of this wonderful team. It is about more than orthodontics here; it is about building relationships. The most rewarding part of my day is meeting with new patients and helping them on their way to a beautiful smile. I have been in the dental field for twenty years. I started in high school and have worked my way into a wonderful and rewarding career. I enjoy spending my spare time with my family hiking, camping, and traveling.

Brian Zimmerman

I have been the lab technician at Leone and Vaughn Orthodontics for over a year. As a "Jack of all trades", I have worked in nearly every role in the dental office over the past 10 years. One of the many things I love about working at Leone and Vaughn Orthodontics is the variety of cases I get to see each day and the challenges they present. My favorite pastimes include spending time with my wife and daughter, reading, online competitive gaming, and fishing.
