The Administrative Team

Trilby

Practice Administrator

Trilby was born and raised in Winchester. Although she has worked for Amherst Dental Practice for over 10 years, she became the office manager in April 2021. She is a graduate of Middleburg Academy and a dual degree graduate of Virginia Tech, with Bachelors of Science degrees in Marketing and Hospitality & Tourism Management. In her free time, she loves to cook, bake, craft, fish with her husband, spend time with family and friends, and spoil her dog, Roux. One thing Trilby has found to be tried and true is kindness is never overrated.
