Meet Our Front Office Team
Sunny L. - Lead of Operations
I have worked with this wonderful team since May 2006. I have been a Registered Dental Assistant since 2007, and became the scheduling coordinator around 2012 to broaden my knowledge in all areas of dentistry. Everyone here has become family; always safe and welcome. I have been married since June 28, 2008 and have been blessed with two sons. When I am not at work I like to spend time with my family and friends. We enjoy going to the lake and taking trips to Portland to visit my husband’s family. I love meeting our new patients and showing them they can trust us and feel confident that we will take care of all their dental needs
Lani D. - Scheduling Coordinator and Marketing
I became a part of this wonderful team in April of 2018 and everyone here has grown to be my family. From the second I walked in it always felt like home. I started my career in the dental field in 2010 after graduating from high school. I was born and raised in Yuba City and now live in Loma Rica with my husband and 2 beautiful girls. If I’m not at work, you can find me spending time with my family on our little farm up the hill! What’s most important to me is getting to know our patients and create a family-type feel when they come into the office.
Jessica B. - Hygiene Coordinator
I completed my Dental Assisting Internship in the office in 2009, and worked as a temp hygiene assistant for the next few years. I returned to Magnolia Modern Dentistry in September 2020, to help the amazing front office team with our ever-expanding practice. It was an easy transition back into the office, as there were many of the same faces and friends still working here, along with many new faces I have enjoyed getting to know! I was born and raised in the foothills, and still live in the Yuba-Sutter area. During my off time, you can find me at the water with my dog, Ralph, weather permitting, of course! I also just love spending time outdoors in general with my family and close friends. I’m so happy and proud to be a part of the Magnolia family.
Larisa - Financial Coordinator
I completed my Dental Assisting internship in this office in 2007 and I have also been a patient here for over 20 years! To say I just can’t get enough of this place is an understatement! I started working here in 2021 as the Financial Coordinator and over the years I have had the opportunity to witness this practice grow in such an inspiring way. I love working here at Magnolia because everyone is genuine and we all truly care about our patients. I was raised in Browns Valley but have since moved to Roseville with my husband and kids. On my off time you can usually find me on the sidelines of a soccer game, or working on a project at home. I also love to travel so I’m always up for a new destination recommendation!
Brittney D. - Patient Care Coordinator
I joined the Magnolia team October 2021 after moving to California with my family from South Carolina. I grew up in Washington state but have moved around the country with my family due to being a military family. I started my career in dental in 2018 after graduating from Liberty University. In my free time, i enjoy spending time with my husband and two children, cooking, and playing games. The Magnolia team is a family that I am proud to be a part of.
Mikki V. - Patient Care Coordinator
Hi! My name is Michaela, but most people call me Mikki. I’ve been in the dental field since 2013, most of my career has been as an assistant but I joined the Magnolia family as a Front Desk Receptionist. I feel so blessed to work with such an amazing group of people and the best patients! I am also currently in school to further my career in the Dental Field to become a Dental Hygienist. Outside of work I enjoy doing spontaneous outside adventures with my family. My husband and I have three beautiful girls who keep our hands and heart full. For now, you will continue to see me at the front desk, but hopefully one day I will be cleaning your teeth as a Hygienist 😊
Yesenia R - Patient Care Coordinator
Hello! My name is Yesenia. I have been in the dental field as a front desk receptionist now for about a year and half. I have learned and grown so much about dentistry that it is now something I hopefully will pursue in the near future. I love being able to greet patients every day, go over treatment and make sure they go home feeling good about their next steps to an already beautiful smile! My goal is to make them feel right at home! Arriving at Magnolia Modern Dentistry, I did not expect to feel so welcomed and loved! It is definitely a different experience from past jobs and I couldn’t be happier.
Jazmine V. - Patient Care Coordinator
My name is Jazmine. I grew up here in Yuba City. On my free time I enjoy shopping and spending time with my family and friends. I started working with this wonderful team in May of 2022. The whole team was very welcoming and has not hesitated to make me feel at home and a valued member of this team. I am fortunate to have found such a great place to work and thrive with coworkers who have quickly become close friends.
