In her leisure time, Cathi enjoys spending time with her family and friends, going to the beach and watching college football.

Born and raised in rural Wilson County, NC, my first jobs were cropping tobacco and pulling weeds from peanut fields.  After graduating from East Carolina University in 1995 with a B.S. in Secondary Science Education with a Biology Concentration, I taught science for five years total at North Mecklenburg High School and New Hanover High School. My husband, Dave, and I were married in 1998, and we are blessed with two amazing daughters.  In 2003, I obtained an Associate’s Degree in Dental Hygiene from Cape Fear Community College, and began my employment as a hygienist with Bush Family Dentistry in 2004. At work, I enjoy getting to know my patients, treating them as I would my own family,  and providing customized care and oral health instruction.  For enjoyment outside of work, I love singing and playing the piano, church choir and teaching Sunday School, kayaking, boogie-boarding, camping and hiking on mountain vacations, raising backyard chickens, and supporting my daughters in all their pursuits.

Rennie has been a dental assistant for 25 years and a part of Bush Family Dentistry since 2007.  A favorite part of her job here is getting to know our patients and form relationships with them.  Being quite talkative, she really enjoys helping our patients feel as comfortable and happy as possible.  Rennie is married and a dedicated mom to her 2 active college aged sons. She loves any and all live music and is currently working on getting certified to teach Pilates.

Bekah has been a dental assistant for 18 years and she LOVES it! She has a passion for dentistry and learning, and enjoys helping people. Making patients feel comfortable and assuring them we are here to take good care of them is one of the most rewarding things about her position. Originally from Baltimore, MD, she moved to Wilmington 10 years ago with her husband, 2 boys, and a “zoo” of fur babies. Bekah spends her time volunteering in Scouts, BSA and enjoying live music with her family. Bekah has been with Bush Family Dentistry for 1 year and is looking forward to many more!
