Mariela
Clinical Assistant
“Smiles, sunshine, and a good skein of yarn, life’s all about the little joys!”
Hi there! I’m an orthodontic assistant who’s all about bright smiles and good vibes. Whether I’m helping patients feel comfortable in the chair or cheering on a new set of braces, I love being part of the smile transformation journey.
When I’m off the clock, you’ll usually find me outside exploring a trail, camping, or soaking in some sunshine. And when the weather keeps me indoors? I’m probably cozied up with some yarn and a crochet hook, making something warm, cute, or just plain fun.
