Steph – Head CDA

I graduated from the Douglas College Dental Assisting Program over 20 years ago and have been dedicated to patient care ever since. In my role as Head CDA, I take pride not only in providing excellent clinical support but also in leading and mentoring our amazing dental assisting team.

Ensuring that every patient feels comfortable and receives the highest standard of care is incredibly important to me. I’m proud to be part of the exceptional team at Mint Dental, where I enjoy building lasting relationships with our patients and supporting a positive, welcoming environment.

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling and spending quality time with my family and friends.

Jennifer – CDA

I completed the Certified Dental Assistant program at CDI College in 2024 and have been a proud member of the team ever since. I’m passionate about helping every patient feel relaxed and at ease during their visit. I especially love working with kids, encouraging and educating them about oral health in a fun, friendly way. If you hear someone hustling around the office, there’s a good chance it’s me, making sure everything runs smoothly!

When I’m not at work, I enjoy going to concerts, traveling, and discovering new food spots.

Kieley – CDA

I’m a recent graduate of the Certified Dental Assisting program at Vancouver Community College and am excited to begin my career helping patients feel comfortable and at ease in the dental chair. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and my tabby cat, Milo. I’m a big Vancouver Canucks fan and love taking dance classes—tap is my favorite style! I bring the same energy and positivity from the dance floor into the dental clinic every day.

Gina – Hygienist

I graduated from UBC with a degree in Nutritional Sciences, but along the way, I discovered my passion for dental hygiene and went on to complete my education in Toronto. Now, I feel fortunate to be part of the amazing team at Mint, where I get to help patients feel confident in their smiles and take charge of their oral health.

When I’m not at the clinic, you’ll likely find me spending time with friends and family, checking out new restaurants, or exploring everything Vancouver has to offer.

Alina – Dental Hygienist

I was born in South Korea and moved to Canada at the age of 13. My interest in oral healthcare began during a medical volunteer trip to Ecuador, where I discovered a passion for helping others through dentistry. After returning home, I gained hands-on experience working as both a dental receptionist and a chairside assistant, all while pursuing a degree in Psychology at Langara College and the University of British Columbia.

I graduated from dental hygiene school in Toronto in 2021 and joined the Mint Dental team in 2023. I strive to provide gentle, patient-centered care and am committed to helping patients feel at ease while promoting the importance of preventive dental health.

Outside the clinic, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, traveling, swimming, playing badminton, and baking.
