Jenna Morris
Hygienist
I graduated with an associate’s degree in dental hygiene from Flint Hills Technical College in 2020 and has been with Team Kriss since. I had 5 years of dental experience as I was a dental assistant before becoming a hygienist. I love helping patients set and accomplish their oral hygiene goals. I also enjoy getting to build relationships with patients along the way!
I volunteered with Team Smile, an organization providing free dental care to underserved children in communities across the U.S. I intend to continue my involvement in the future, including helping with Kansas Mission of Mercy.
I am married to my husband, Dagan, and we have one son and two dogs. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, being outside and going on small road trips when life allows it!

Kasey Besack
Hygienist
I’m a lifelong local of the Emporia area. I grew up on a small hobby farm between Lebo & Waverly raising longhorn cattle, fainting goats, chickens, rabbits, etc. I am a graduate of Lebo High and Flint Hills Technical College where I received my education in Dental Assisting and later Dental Hygiene. I currently reside between Olpe & Hartford with my boyfriend, both of our dogs, three cats, chickens, and we are also soon to be beekeepers. My boyfriend and I love living off the land and enjoy to hunt, fish, and garden together. I am a crazy dog mom, my German Shepherd “Kane”, is my baby. I am a very family oriented person and am definitely a “homebody”. The thing I most enjoy about my career is making connections with patients and educating them on the importance of oral health as an integral part of overall health.
