Meet the Team

I have lived in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago for the past 20 years. I decided to move to Bozeman in 2020 to enjoy my family here, and the Mountain life Bozeman has to offer. I especially enjoy skiing Big Sky Mountain and exploring Bozeman trails. I joined Dr. Murphy’s team in November 2022 as patient coordinator, enjoying front office duties and patient interaction.

Kaelynn was born and raised in Billings, Montana. She moved to Bozeman to enhance her career in the dental field while being surrounded by mountains, a vibrant community, and hiking trails. Kaelynn looks forward to helping our patients achieve their perfect smile while bringing a positive outlook to the field of dentistry.

Jennifer has been a dental hygienist for over 15 years and is truly passionate about helping patients feel at ease while achieving their healthiest smiles. She earned both her associate and bachelor’s degrees in dental hygiene from the Oregon Institute of Technology and has experience in both public health and private practice. Originally from Manhattan, MT, Jennifer returned to the Gallatin Valley after nine years in Homer, Alaska, to raise her family and be closer to extended relatives. Outside the office, she enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband, Evan, and their two children, Brixton and Lexi—camping, hiking, and enjoying all that Montana has to offer.

Aime grew up in Thermopolis, Wyoming. Raised around mountains and valleys, she’s no stranger to Montana’s scenery and friendly folk. She’s traveled around the US, but moved here from Waco, Texas, where she picked up her husband, her dog, her cat, and her schooling in Dental Assisting all along the way! She’s got big plans of attending MSU and eventually making it into and through dental school, with a main focus on serving Montana and its people. Aime really hopes to make a positive difference in patients’ experiences, whether they be big or small. A truly happy smile is a job well done for her, and a goal she continues to strive for.
