I enjoy being with my family and friends, especially with my daughter. I enjoy outdoor activities, going to the beach, and traveling. I have been working as a dental assistant since 2012. I graduated from Everest Institute. I started at a pediatric dental practice and worked my way up to an orthodontic assistant.

Dr. Cardenas is an amazing orthodontist and I continue to work with him on creating beautiful new smiles and positive attitudes to the practice!
