Meet our Team
Keli
Office Manager
I'm Keli, and I'm delighted to share a glimpse into my life as the Office Manager at Inspire Advanced Dentistry.
Being a lifelong resident of the Colville/Kettle Falls area, my patients are more than just individuals; they're like family. My days are immersed in wonderful conversations and the development of treasured friendships.
Since April 2018, I've proudly served as the office manager at Inspire Advanced Dentistry. My journey with Dr. Fox dates back to 1999, where I started as a sterilization tech, later transitioning to a chairside assistant, and now managing the office. Wearing these varied hats allows me to bring a unique perspective to our dental care team.
Dave and I are the proud parents of two adult children, Connor (Makayla) and Kennedy (Seth). The best part of having children? They give you grandchildren. Dave and I have found immense joy in being grandparents to two absolutely adorable grandkids, Natalie and Branson. We seek out every opportunity and make any excuse to spend time with them.
As empty nesters, my husband Dave and I revel in the freedom to explore the blessings of beautiful northeastern Washington. Our trusty yellow lab, Tilly, and energetic red lab puppy, Tess, often tag along on our adventures.
In addition to our outdoor pursuits, I enjoy trying to beat Dr. Fox in our fantasy football league... Game on!
I am genuinely excited about being a part of your dental journey at Inspire. Whether you're a long-time patient or new to our practice, my commitment is to make your experience exceptional. Feel free to reach out for any questions or to schedule your next appointment. Let's work together to ensure your healthiest, best smile and make your dental home with us truly special!
FRONT OFFICE
Natalie
Natalie is a dynamic and familiar face at Inspire Advanced Dentistry. Her journey with our practice began as a Patient Care Coordinator, a role she proudly held for nearly two years. After a brief adventure living in the beautiful landscapes of Colorado, Natalie felt the pull of home and returned to Colville—where both her heart and career truly belong.
Upon her return, Natalie expanded her experience by working on the clinical side of the office as a dental assistant. Having supported patients from both the front desk and chairside, she brings a well-rounded understanding of the dental field. She has since returned to her role as Patient Care Coordinator, where her broad perspective allows her to guide patients seamlessly through every step of their visit with confidence, clarity, and care.
Natalie’s time away deepened her appreciation for the warmth and close-knit community of Colville. She is passionate about creating a welcoming, comfortable experience for every patient and is deeply committed to making a positive impact on their dental journey.
Outside the office, Natalie enjoys reading, spending quality time with family, and embracing adventure—whether that’s traveling, snowboarding, boating, or staying active in the community through church involvement. She believes in living life fully and bringing that same positive energy into everything she does.
Natalie is thrilled to continue serving patients in a role she loves and is always happy to connect—whether you have questions about your care or want to share your latest adventure. Your comfort, confidence, and smile are always her top priorities.

Welcome to Inspire Advanced Dentistry! I'm Issa, and I've been dedicated to assisting patients in the dental field since 2022. At Inspire, I've received comprehensive training that has equipped me with the skills needed to ensure your comfort and provide exceptional care.
My primary goal is to create a welcoming and friendly environment for you while you're in the chair. Whether it's a routine hygiene appointment, a CEREC procedure, implants, extractions, or any other dental treatment, you can count on me to be there to assist you every step of the way.
What I love most about my job is the opportunity to meet new faces and get to know our patients. I find immense joy in building relationships and ensuring that each visit is as pleasant as possible.
A little about me: I was born and raised in Guatemala, and at the age of 16, my family and I made the courageous decision to relocate here. Adapting to a new language and culture presented its challenges, but with the support of my family, I was able to overcome them.
Outside of work, you'll often find me embracing the great outdoors. Whether it's snowboarding at 49° North during the winter or kayaking, swimming, hiking, and camping during the summer, I'm always up for an adventure that promises unforgettable memories.
I'm genuinely passionate about dentistry, and I'm excited to continue pursuing this fulfilling career path. I look forward to meeting you and ensuring your dental experience at Inspire Advanced Dentistry is nothing short of exceptional.

After selling her home in Spokane, Jordyn and her husband, Daniel, started an exciting new chapter—getting married, welcoming their two boys, Leo and Ben, and purchasing a home in Chewelah. Her journey then brought her back to her roots, where she joined her childhood dental office at Colville Pediatrics Dentistry. Jordyn spent approximately a year and a half there, gaining valuable experience working with families and young patients.
Now back in general dentistry at Inspire Advanced Dentistry, Jordyn enjoys caring for patients of all ages and helping them feel comfortable and confident during their visits.
