Meet Our Team

Theresa began her dental career as a dental assistant, receiving her training at Lake Washington Technical College. She returned to Lake Washington a few years later to further her education, earning a degree in Dental Hygiene. Theresa is passionate about helping patients achieve their optimal oral health, emphasizing patient-specific care with a gentle touch. Active in the dental hygiene community, she loves exploring the world, traveling with family and friends, and posing for pictures with monkeys.

Karina returns to our office after a hiatus and we are happy to have her back.  She graduated from the Shoreline Community College Dental Hygiene program but is always studying up, staying current with hygiene trends.  Now a mother to two active little girls, she moonlights as a talented face painter.  Karina and her family love to travel and spent 6 months traveling the world.

Niesha is the bubbly front desk receptionist here at Seattle's Choice Dental. Her passion is working with people and making everyone feel welcomed and valued. She has worked in the dental field for many years and really enjoys it. She is a mother of a beautiful teenage daughter. Outside of work, she spends her time with family and friends.

Carmela joins our team with a wealth of dental assisting experience. She loves organizing and keeping the office neat and tidy! She is member of the BTS Army (Jimin is her favorite!)–she loves their music and dance moves! A native of the Philippines, Carmela has called Seattle her home for over 20 years and enjoys spending time with her husband, Ariel, their three grown daughters, and her Cricut machine.

Jocelyn brings years of dental experience and loves helping patients feel comfortable and confident about their smiles. She’s a true team player who enjoys the hands-on side of dentistry and creating a positive experience for every patient. When she’s not at work, Jocelyn loves spending time with her family, traveling, and creating custom gift baskets for her small business.

Sara began her dental journey at Lake Washington Technical College, where she earned her Dental Assisting Certification. Since then, she’s worn many hats around the office — from chairside assisting to sterilization and being up at the front desk more. You never know where you’ll see her next! Outside of work, Sara enjoys spending time with her husband, two children, and their two big dogs. Between after-school sports, PTA projects, and family adventures, she always finds a way to stay busy and creative.
