I have been in the dental industry for over 15 years. I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience in practice administration to Dr. Mammens office. I understand all aspects of financing, insurance, scheduling, and teamwork that are involved in achieving a perfect smile. My love and enjoyment of dentistry are evident with every patient I am able to help. I look forward to meeting you in the very near future!
I was born and raised in Galveston, Texas and relocated to Katy in 2021 with my husband, Mark and 2 children. In my spare time I love to travel, read, binge watch crime documentaries and am an amazing cake decorator!
I was born and raised in the small town of Waller, TX just outside of Cypress. I enjoy exploring Houstons art galleries, museums, parks, and of course all the delicious food. I am a proud bun mom to a 7 year old Holland lop rabbit that I am obsessed with and love showing him off!
As a dental assistant, I love helping patients smile. Whether it be a smile makeover or a simple procedure to help them get out of pain, it warms my heart to witness them walking out of the office showing off their beautiful smile. I also enjoy helping patients understand and get the maximum benefits from their insurance. I strongly believe good quality dental care should not just be in the chair but in the entire office. I will always strive to have patients leave happy about their smile and confident that their insurance benefits are being used to the maximum.
I graduated in 2011 from Kingwood College with an Associate of Applied Science in Dental Hygiene. Since then, I have been practicing hygiene in Houston and have absolutely loved it. I believe my role as a hygienist is to educate patients about their oral health and help them reach any goals they may have.
I am a Houston native and enjoy traveling with my wife and my two elementary age children. I also enjoy spending my free time swimming, snowboarding, watching movies/TV and running. I am a Houston Marathon Legacy runner.
I have lived in Katy, Tx for over 16 years, but grew up in Venezuela. Since, I was twelve years old I wanted to be a dentist. To pursue my dream, I attended dental school at the Central University of Venezuela, where I received a Doctor of Dental Sciences (DDS) degree in 1996. After practicing in Venezuela for a few years, my husband was transferred to Houston. I then decided to go back to school and study something related to dentistry because that is my true passion.
In 2013, I received my Dental Hygiene AAS, from HCC Coleman College for Health Sciences, where I graduated with the Highest Honors. I am a member of the American Dental Hygienists Association, Greater Houston Dental Hygiene Society, and The National Society of Collegiate Scholars.
I am excited to be back at Mint Family Dental with Dr. Mammen and the team. It is a pleasure to work with Dr. Mammen because honesty, perfection, and excellence are the core values of our practice. I enjoy getting to know my patients individually and to provide the highest quality of dental care.
