Robin made the transition from Dr. Whitesides Financial Coordinator to Business Administrator in November 2021.  With her background in office managment, accounting and bookkeeping, it was a smooth transition for her and the team.  Managing the staff and keeping everything running smoothly so everyone here at Whitesides Orthodontics can focus on delivering exceptional care to our patients is truly what Robin enjoys doing.

When Robin is not at the office you can expect to see her spending time with her family, either poolside with her three children or playing longside her two granddaughters at many of the local parks.
