Machelle James
Business Assistant, First Employed 1993; returned 2001, 2004
Machelle is a native daughter of Arizona-born and raised in Phoenix. She has worked in various positions at Children's Dental Village. "I started as a receptionist then moved to the check-out position; and now I'm in a unique and wonderful part-time position in the business department."
Machelle frequently visits valley library programs and other marketing venues. She advocates for outstanding pediatric dental and orthodontic care for children and teens. Machelle truly enjoys helping others in their time of need. She is a City of Tempe Care 7 volunteer. She never knows if a call will require giving someone a ride home after a car breaks down, assisting the Fire Department with water, or providing clothes to those who have lost their home. She applies the same compassionate service to Care 7 recipients and those who come to Children's Dental Village.
Outside of work, Machelle values her friendships and family. Being the mother of three wonderful children, one with development disabilities, is demanding. She drives a lot! Lately however she has been riding bikes with her family to the movies, dinner, ice cream shop and bowling alley.
