Hygienists
Ashley
Dental Hygienist
I was born in San Diego, California, but have spent most of my life in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I attended the University of New Mexico, where I graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene.
My journey in dentistry began in 2014 as a dental assistant, where I discovered my passion for the field. As a dental hygienist, I enjoy building meaningful relationships with my patients while helping them achieve healthier smiles. Knowing that I can make a positive impact on the health of my community is one of the most rewarding parts of my career.
Outside of the office, my husband and I enjoy spending time with our two wonderful children and our beloved Miniature Schnauzer. In my free time, I enjoy crafting, staying active through exercise, and playing sand volleyball.

Danielle graduated from the University of New Mexico in 2001 with a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene. She strongly believes that quality dental care is connected to overall health and wellbeing. In her work, Danielle aims to take excellent care of her patients' dental and general health.

Danielle feels very fortunate to be part of the team at Advanced Dental Care, as she believes her personal values closely align with those of the practice. She approaches each workday with the intention of doing her best, contributing to the betterment of the practice, her patients, and herself.
Tasha
Registered Dental Hygienist
I went to La Cueva High School and then to UNM, where I graduated summa cum laude from the dental hygiene program in 1999. Then I received my bachelor’s degree in 2000. I consider myself extremely lucky to have found a career that I enjoy so much. It is wonderful to meet people and be a part of improving their oral hygiene as well as their overall health. I like to get to know my patients, so that I can work with each one on an individual basis. I believe educating and communicating with patients is the key to a lasting relationship. Dr. Kerschen is not only an incredible dentist but has a genuine interest in caring for his patients. I have been very blessed to become a member of his outstanding dental team.
I was born in Colorado, but moved to Albuquerque at just six months of age. I have a wonderful husband and three spoiled-rotten cats. I am a huge lover of animals. I spend most of my summers camping and hiking all throughout New Mexico and Colorado. In the winter, I like to stay indoors and follow one of my dad’s passions, cooking.

I love the outdoors, I am an avid hiker, biker, kayaker, rafter and paddle boarder. We live in a beautiful state and I enjoy helping our community keep our environment in its enchanted state.

Jennifer
Dental Assistant
I was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico and graduated from Cibola High School in 2008. My passion for helping others led me to pursue a career in dental assisting, and I began that journey in 2012 at Pima Medical Institute. I enjoy making every patient feel welcome, comfortable, and at ease during their visit. I believe a smile can make all the difference, and I’m passionate about helping people feel confident in theirs. When I’m not in the office, I’m a proud mom to two amazing children who inspire me every day. I love spending quality time with my family, baking homemade treats, practicing yoga, and finding joy in the little moments. I believe that kindness, compassion, and a positive attitude can brighten someone’s day, and I bring that same energy into my work each day.
Front Office
Angie
Office Coordinator
I have over 21 years of experience in the dental field, with a career that began in dental assisting before transitioning into the front office. Having hands-on clinical background, combined with extensive administrative experience, allows me to provide patients with knowledgeable, compassionate, and efficient support throughout their dental experience. I believe in building trust through honest communication and transparency, helping patients feel informed, comfortable, and confident every step of the way. I’m passionate about creating a welcoming environment while ensuring the office runs smoothly and professionally.
Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband, Eric, and our kids — especially as we get ready for two of them to start high school. I enjoy reading whenever I can, always trying to put a dent in the TBR pile. I’m also super passionate about music and love going to concerts whenever I can.
