Dr. Ousley first developed her passion for dentistry at the age of 13 when she was introduced and mentored by her family dentist in Springfield, IL. She has loved saving teeth and creating great smiles ever since. After high school, she completed her undergraduate education at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville in 2007. She went on to complete dental school at Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine where she received her Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) in 2011.

Dr. Ousley loves music and baking! Hallmark & HGTV are her favorite channels! She also enjoys traveling with her beautiful girl Grace Alma and her loving husband, Omara. If she was on a plane today, she would be heading to Israel, The Holy Land!

Dr. Ousley is a member of multiple professional organizations including the American Dental Association, the Georgia Dental Association, and the Northern District Dental Society. She enjoys volunteering her dentistry skills especially Mission of Mercy!
