I grew up in the Yakima Valley and graduated in 1990 from Selah High School.

I grew up in the Lower Yakima Valley and went to Yakima Valley Community College and Edmonds Community College where I became a Certified Dental Assistant. I have worked in many different areas of the dental field. I started working for Yakima Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in 1998.
The greatest thing I get to do every day is come to work! I enjoy working with every patient and scheduling to meet their needs.
I am married, have three grown children, and have two perfect granddaughters. In my spare time, I love to quilt, camp, bake, and spend time with my three dogs.

Rachel
Certifications: Registered Dental Assistant
I began my dental assisting career in 2012 after receiving my Dental Assisting Certificate from Charter College in Vancouver, WA.
I worked in general dentistry over the next 6 years in Vancouver, WA, and Naples, FL before moving to the Yakima Valley in 2018 where I started my career with Yakima Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. My roles here in the office are scheduling coordinator, overseeing the ordering of supplies, and I am the WISHA Safety Officer.
When I’m away from the office, I love spending time with my family, and being outdoors at the beach playing frisbee, or up in the mountains camping.

I grew up in the lower Yakima valley where I graduated from Sunnyside High School in 2008.
I previously worked in general dentistry for 2 years prior to joining the Yakima Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery team in 2018. I like helping patients feel comfortable when coming to our office, whether joking with them or easing their nerves prior to surgery. I enjoy what I do here.
Outside of work, I enjoy traveling and experiencing new things with my husband and two daughters.
Oral Surgery Assistant
Julisa
Certifications: Registered Dental Assistant
I grew up in the Lower Yakima Valley and graduated from Grandview High in 2017. I received my dental assisting certification from Charter College in Pasco in 2019.
After finishing my externship, I began working at Yakima Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in June 2019. I am bilingual — I speak fluent English and Spanish. I never saw myself working in oral surgery, but after working here for a while I now love it and I’m happy with the career I chose, and I don’t see myself working anywhere else.
Outside of work, I like to spend time with my family. I have a 4-month-old daughter who keeps me busy!
Oral Surgery Assistant
Rocio
Certifications: Registered Dental Assistant, Certified Dental Anesthesia Assistant, DAANCE Certified
I grew up in Yakima and graduated from Eisenhower High School in 2015.
Before I joined Yakima Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, I worked in dialysis for about 2 years as a Hemodialysis Medical Assistant. I decided to make a career change and go into oral surgery because I’ve always had a passion for working in this field! Every day I learn new things and the opportunity for growth here is unlimited. Working for Yakima Oral & Maxillofacial surgery is very rewarding, knowing that I’ve made a difference helping out our patients.
For fun I love to go hiking and view the beautiful waterfalls. I also enjoy going to the beach and spending time with my family and friends.

Scheduling Coordinator
Elizabeth
Welcome! I grew up in the Yakima Valley and have lived here my entire life. I have worked in the dental field as a receptionist and an orthodontic assistant, but I realized that my passion is working at the front desk as a receptionist.
I enjoy talking with patients to make them feel comfortable before surgery and I have a positive attitude. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my children, attending their sports activities, camping, hiking to beautiful waterfalls, and being a plant mom.
