I'm Ashley and I grew up in rural North Texas. I earned my bachelor of science degree in Dental Hygiene from Texas Women's University in 2002. I'm the mother of 4 beautiful daughters ! We enjoy traveling, hiking, gardening, cooking, baking and spending time on our North Texas farm with family. I enjoy treating each patient with personalized care for their own needs.
Joining Dr. Dunn's team in November 2023, Han brought not just enthusiasm, but a genuine passion for building close-knit environments. While the welcome work-life balance was attractive, it was the patients who truly won her heart. Witnessing their journeys to better health, their blossoming confidence – that was a reward beyond measure.
But Han's world extends far beyond the practice walls. Shaped by Vietnamese traditions, Oregon's charm, and Texas' warmth, her diverse experiences have instilled a unique, global perspective. This deep appreciation for cultural nuances and life's "flavors" – both literal and metaphorical – shines through in every interaction.
When the day's work is done, Han's passions take center stage. In the kitchen, she conjures up sweet treats that warm hearts and spirits, just like her patient care. But nature also calls, offering invigorating hikes and a chance to recharge. Traveling with her husband, a dedicated hospital programmer, they explore new cultures and cuisines, enriching their lives in countless ways.
Back home, playful antics and furry cuddles await, courtesy of her adorable Corgi and Cavachon. Yet, her heart finds its deepest inspiration in her parents. Their unwavering love and sacrifices fuel her every step, evident in her achievement as a first-generation university graduate.
Guided by the motto "Always do your best. In God, we trust," Han embodies commitment in all she does, both personally and professionally.
