My name is Elizabeth, but I go by Lizzy. I graduated from the Dental Assisting program at Monterey Peninsula College in 2020 and now work as a Registered Dental Assistant. My favorite part about my job is being able to connect with patients to achieve their smile goals. As a team, patient care is our top priority, so I strive to make patients feel as comfortable as possible in the chair.

When not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and adorable cat.

My name is Senetra. A question many wonder about is how I pronounce my name. Similar to the singer Frank Si-na-tra only it’s Si-KNEE-tra. I’ve been a hygienist since 2004 and have worked here since day 1 of my career. I’ve had the joy of seeing patients reach many milestones in life: grow up, get married, start a family, retire, and become grandparents. One of the greatest compliments I’ve received is when a patient told me I clean their teeth like I’m restoring fine art, such as attention to detail. I hope to create positive dental experiences for you and your family.

I started working in our office in 2007. My dental career started over 38 years ago as a registered dental assistant. My current role is that of Administrative Assistant. I am a woman who is passionate about getting to know all of our patients, making sure they receive top-quality service, care, and ultimately the best and most comfortable dental experience. I love to spend time with my husband, Jack, our five kids, and 5 grandsons.

I have lived in the Monterey Bay Area most of my life and have been in dentistry for 29 years. I started out as a chair-side assistant and gradually found my way to the front office, where I settled and stayed. I love my office family and take pride in working here and in what I do. I especially enjoy getting to know all of our patients and, most of all, helping and seeing anxious patients become more comfortable during their visits to our office. I love nature and road trip adventures and am crazy about art while being very artsy and crafty myself. I look forward to seeing you and helping you achieve that beautiful, healthy smile you deserve. 

Hi, my name is Sofia, and I am a graduate of Cabrillo College. I originally went into teaching; however, the Dental Hygiene Healthcare career was calling my name. I love my job, not only educating my patients on their oral health but making them comfortable and at ease. In my spare time, I like to work in my garden by planting and harvesting fruits and vegetables. 

I obtained my dental hygiene degree in 2018 from San Joaquin Valley College, and I also hold a Bachelor of Science Degree in Dental Hygiene (BSDH). Having a passion for continual growth as a hygienist, I furthered my education at the University of the Pacific and became a Registered Dental Hygienist in Alternative Practice (RDHAP). I am part of a small group of elite hygienists that can independently practice in the state of California. I pride myself in the uniquely tailored experience that I can give to my patients. I love helping my patients achieve their oral healthcare goals and building close relationships with patients.

When not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family and my French Bulldog Enzo, cooking, watching movies, and traveling to my next desired destination!
