I am bilingual in both English and Spanish. Prior to graduating Hygiene school from UHMC in 2011 I was fortunate to work in several aspects of dentistry and have gained a wide array of knowledge along the way. I have a cheerful personality, love building trusting relationships with patients while maintaining a comfortable environment. I married my husband, Eric in 2014, we have one daughter, Mahina. Together we enjoy being outdoors taking in all the beauty Maui has to offer.

Zina

Dental Assistant

Aloha, my name is Zina and I have been a dental assistant for about 30 years. The best part of my job is seeing our patients complete their treatment and leave with a brand new smile. In my spare time, I love to travel, going to the beach/pool and spending time with family and friends. Life is good, enjoy every moment!



Dental Assistant

Kamalei

Dental Assistant

Aloha, my name is Kamalei. I was born and raised on Maui. I moved to Washington at the end of 2013 to see what it was like being away from everything I knew. I realized how important it was to have my children grow up with family surrounding them, so I returned to Maui with my three boys at the beginning of 2018. I enjoy spending time with my kids.
