Ever since Karina was a little kid, she loved going to the dentist! She just loved the way they made her feel because her smile was unique just like everyone else’s. Karina just knew she would be in the Dental field from a young age. After attending Anthem College and Carrington College in 2014, she graduated as an EFDA Dental Assistant. She loves working with kids and teaching them the positive side to keeping their teeth healthy, and it brightens her day when she can make any child feel comfortable and happiness and make them smile.  Karina likes to say, “Only brush and floss the teeth you want to keep.” Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, she loves teaching her own two littles how to keep their smile healthy. You can catch her at the beach with her husband and twins.
