TINA

Tina has joined the practice in 2013 and has been a great addition to the team. She attended Western Career College and received her certificate to be a Dental Assistant in 2006.

Born and raised Bay Area native, she resides in Vallejo to be close to family with her husband Marcellus and 2 beautiful kids.

Her newest adventure is to return back to school remotely to receive her bachelors in Business Administration.
