Thea started at Blue Ridge in July of 1991 as a receptionist. Over the years she has worked in every position within the practice. She is fortunate that she was taught everything she knows by Dr. Lori York, the previous owner. Thea has a bond with the business itself, the patients, and this community. 

Her time outside of the practice is spent with her 3 daughters and 6 grandchildren that are the loves of her life. Her hobbies include hiking, kayaking, and spending time in the sun. Her true love was her bloodhound, Walter. She shares her home with Calhoun, a dane mix, and Wyatt the grump cat.
