With over eight years of experience in the dental field, Jacqueline brings both expertise and genuine care to her role as Office Manager. Often the first person to welcome patients into the office, she takes pride in creating a friendly, comfortable, and professional environment. Whether it’s assisting with scheduling, answering insurance questions, or making sure each visit runs smoothly, Jacqueline is dedicated to helping patients feel at ease every step of the way.

 

What she values most about her work are the relationships she builds with patients. For Jacqueline, dentistry is not just about healthy smiles, but about fostering trust and providing support that makes every patient feel cared for.

 

Outside of the office, Jacqueline is a proud mom to two wonderful children who keep her both busy and inspired. She especially loves the fall season—her favorite time of year—and enjoys celebrating Halloween and watching classic horror movies with family and friends.

 

Rachael has been dedicated to the dental field since 2017 and is passionate about helping patients feel more confident with their smiles.

Currently, she brings her comprehensive knowledge and leadership skills to the role of Office Manager.

 

Rachael holds a Bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences from the University of Illinois at Chicago and is now furthering her education to become a Registered Dental Hygienist.

 

After graduating from Tennessee Technology Center of Memphis as a Certified Dental Assistant in 2009, Kate started working part time with a periodontist in Memphis. In 2012, she decided to further her education and pursue a career in dental hygiene, graduating from the University of Tennessee’s Dental Hygiene Program in 2014 with honors. Kate moved to the Chicagoland area at the end of 2017 and began working with Dr. Zhu in early 2018. She is passionate and committed to dental hygiene and takes pride in being both thorough and gentle. Kate strives to provide a positive dental experience for every patient at Integrity Dental. When not busy at the office, Kate loves to travel and spend time with her three children at their sporting events.

 

My passion for dental care began in 2011, when I first entered the dental field. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of growing both personally and professionally, culminating in my graduation with honors in 2024 from the College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn with a degree in dental hygiene.

 

I’m dedicated to helping patients feel comfortable, informed, and confident about their oral health. Whether through gentle cleanings, personalized education, or simply taking the time to listen, I strive to make every visit a positive and reassuring experience. To me, building trust and meaningful relationships is just as important as delivering excellent clinical care.

 

Outside the office, I enjoy spending time with my family, getting lost in a good book, and nurturing my garden. These simple joys keep me balanced and remind me of the value of care, both inside and outside the dental chair.

 

I was born in Mexico and moved to the United States at the age of 14. After arriving, I began school to learn English and adapt to my new surroundings. Upon graduating high school, I pursued a college degree in Medical Assistance but eventually found my passion in the dental field. I have been working in dentistry since 2012 and have extensive experience in General Dentistry and Orthodontics.

I’m married and have three wonderful children. As a family, we love to travel and create beautiful memories together. My kids are active in sports, so you’ll often find me cheering them on at soccer practices and games. We also have a beloved dog and enjoy spending time outdoors—whether it’s riding bikes, visiting parks, or going horseback riding.
