Mike joined Kids Smiles in 2003 after a short run in the Pharmaceutical industry. He was instantly hooked with the great team atmosphere and general care and compassion the staff had for the patients and families we serve. “This mission was easy for me to become attached to as I myself had issues finding a good dentist as a child growing up in a lower-middle-class family in Philadelphia.” After going back to school for a Masters in Nonprofit Management, Mike had the opportunity to rise in the organization where he is today as the COO. “It’s great to be able to give back to kids that are in a similar situation to what I experienced for much of my young life. I am blessed to see such great impact being made each and every day for the children of Kids Smiles. I truly love what we do at Kids Smiles and feel very proud of what this mission has accomplished.” Mike also works closely with Kids Smiles Annual Golf Fundraiser because nothing makes me smile more than 75-degree weather on a golf course!

Noni joined the team in the infancy of the organization. Starting her career as a dentist, Noni found her true passion being able to work in three areas she is passionate about; Children, Finance and Dentistry. Having advanced degrees in Healthcare Management and Finance and working in an environment where she can make a difference, it enables her to walk both roads and give more of a practical or business-oriented edge and integrate two different disciplines to support others who are in need. She loves Kids Smiles and couldn’t ask for a better job environment. If you'd like to contact Noni, please reach out via email: nmastra@kidssmiles.org.
