I am from Honduras and have been living in the U.S. for almost 20 years. My background is industrial engineering, yet my passion is in healthcare. I truly enjoy helping those that are in dire need to get well again. In my free time, I like to take bike rides with my family, work out at the gym, and enjoy family time at the beach. Spending time with family and friends is very important to me.
I was born in Cuba and came to U.S in 2012. After completing an extensive dental assistant program in Miami, I obtained my license in Expanded Function Dental Auxiliary. I have been working with Dr. Fotek for a few years and have assisted in an array of advanced procedures. Learning is my passion, therefore I had additional training with lasers, Ozone, dental scanners, CEREC, Invisalign, and all aspects of advanced general and biological dentistry. My gentle touch and warm personality comforts all my patients and helps them with their dental fears. Serving patients and able to interact on the clinical side is a rewarding experience. I love being a part of a holistic office and helping patients understand the connection of the mouth with the rest of the body. Our team is full of diverse and enjoyable personalities. Everyone works as hard as they can to create an organized, enjoyable and welcoming workplace.
