Ashley Torrez
Practice Manager
I am a native New Mexican, born and raised right here in Albuquerque. I started my career by graduating from Careington College for Dental Assisting in 2010. I have since continued my education in the field and have been serving as a dental administrator for the last 13+ years. I enjoy helping our patients by providing information, resources, and knowledge about the importance of oral health and how to obtain it. The highlight of my career is meeting new people and building positive relationships with all our patients for a lifetime. Outside of work you’ll find me trying new foods, traveling, and spending time with my son, spouse and our two Shih Tzu’s Brody and Louie.

I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Dental Hygiene right here in New Mexico at UNM. I have been with this practice for 4 years and have loved every minute of it. During my personal time, I enjoy cooking, traveling, reading and roller skating.
