Casi started her career as a dental assistant in November 2024 with training at Triangle School of Dental Assisting in Raleigh, NC, after 20 plus years working closely with the public by way of service industry (serving and bartending). Alongside the restaurant she became a realtor in 2017 just after her son was born. In 2018 she and her husband started a small side business building custom wood furniture. They love this side hustle and hope to continue constructing beautiful pieces for families around the triangle.

She loves talking with patients, educating when she can and learning something new every day. She looks forward to getting to know all of you and being the greatest assistant to you for Dr. Fleming.
