Kailee,

In 2006, I graduated with honours from CDI College as a Certified Dental Assistant. During my first ten years in the dental field, I developed exceptional skills and experience as a pediatric dental assistant. I truly take pride in creating a calm, comfortable, and positive environment for every patient during their dental visits.

Joining Lotus Dental Clinic has encouraged me to expand my knowledge even further and continue growing within the profession. I am committed to providing compassionate care, supporting our patients’ oral health, and helping create the best experience possible for every family who walks through our doors.

Outside of the clinic, you can often find me thrifting for unique finds, enjoying a good cup of coffee, or at the rink playing hockey or coaching my kids. I love spending quality time with my husband, son, and daughter, who keep life busy, fun, and always full of adventure.
