Adele Kuhn
Hygiene Concierge

Adele was born in Modesto, California, along with her two built-in best friends, her siblings. She is the oldest of triplets, with the age difference between them measured in minutes. Adele has lived in Las Vegas since 1996 when her family relocated, and can’t see herself living anywhere else.

Because of a life long interest in the health care field, Adele chose to attend the Southeast Career Technical Academy, majoring in Health Occupations. As a teenager, she developed an interest in dentistry. While still in high school, Adele landed her first job in the dental field, and soon found herself really enjoying dental assisting and working in the front office, too. This duality serves her well here at RDI, her new work home, where the majority of her time is spent as the Hygiene Concierge.

In addition to her love of the dental field, Adele loves to surround herself with family and friends. Whether it is just hanging out, or playing sports, she is always ready to smile.
