Ena Michael
Office Manager
Ena, the wife of Dr. Michael, is a native to Sarasota, FL. Ena's first love (well aside from her daddy) is mathematics. If you don't believe us, just stop by her office randomly. You will probably find her reading a math journal or working on a proof that she just can't seem to get perfect. Ena can connect anything to mathematics, even dentistry! Ena earned a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics with honors from Georgia Southern University and a Master's degree in Pure Mathematics from the University of South Florida. Prior to joining the team at Sarasota Dentistry, Ena was honored to hold a professor of mathematics position at the local community college, SCF, for more than 10 years. While at SCF, she served as not only a professor of mathematics, but also served three years as the chair of the mathematics department. Saying goodbye to her students in the classroom and her co-workers in the math department was one of the hardest moments in her life, but she realized that she could no longer "do it all". Ena is now devoting her time to raising four beautiful children and helping Dr. Michael lead Sarasota Dentistry into the future. Ena has a passion for life-long learning, mathematics, and leadership. In addition to her mathematical expertise, she brings over four years of post-graduate leadership coursework and experience to the office. Ena is committed to creating a team where each individual is allowed to let their strengths shine. While many scholars would probably classify Ena's leadership style as transformational (especially in the field of dentistry), she would be the first to tell you that she incorporates principles that she has learned from situational leadership, servant-based leadership, and transformational leadership into her everyday bag of tools that she brings to the office. Ena's academic experience combined with her love of family make her a perfect fit to lead our team, at Sarasota Dentistry, to the next level of excellent patient centered care. If you ever have a complaint (or a math problem you are just itching to resolve), please do not hesitate to bring it to her attention.
