Hello! My name is Andjela, but most people call me Andj. I was born in Serbia and moved to America when I was 14 years old. While my personality always makes me want to learn as much as possible in any aspect of the job, you will mostly see me in the back office helping and connecting to our awesome patients, which I very much enjoy. Outside of the office I enjoy exploring in nature, working out, crafting and spending quality time with my favorite person in the world, my 9 year old daughter. Lots of my time is also spent working on my goals and dreams of opening my own food truck on the side, as cooking is one of my biggest passions in life. See ya at the office!
