Eastside Pediatric Dental Group
Hi, my name is Jessica. I joined Eastside Pediatric Dental Group in 2008 as a Dental Assistant.
My career in dentistry started my senior year in high school, when I worked after school as a part time assistant. I soon realized that adult dentistry was not for me, but working with the kiddos was the right fit! I worked as an assistant in a pediatric office for 8 years before joining Eastside Pediatric Dental Group in 2006.
Since joining EPDG, I have expanded my duties from dental assistant to business coordinator, sedation coordinator, and assisting with billing and insurance. My duties have expanded over the year and I was recently promoted to Practice Manager. This position keeps me moving and I love it. I feel very lucky to have so many opportunities to learn and take care of any needs a patient may have.
In my spare time, I enjoy reading, cuddling with my two frenchies, and creating projects such as customized clothing, signs and mugs. I also love spending time with my daughter exploring our local areas and venturing to new states and even other countries.
Hi, my name is Ashlee! I joined Eastside Pediatric Dental Group in 2014 as a Dental Assistant.
Before joining the team, I attended Pima Medical Institute for dental assisting. I have always had a passion for working with children, so I knew pediatric dentistry was where I wanted to be. Over the years, my role has evolved from dental assisting into my current position as Business Coordinator. I now spend much of my time working behind the scenes on the business and marketing side of the office, but you may still see me helping with patients from time to time! I have also continued my education in Data Management & Analytics, which has allowed me to further develop my skills on the business side of dentistry.
I live in Lakewood with my two girls. In our free time, we love taking trips, going to the movies, trying new restaurants, spending time with family and friends, and simply enjoying time together. I also enjoy traveling, listening to music, and finding new places to explore.
Hi! My name is Kristin. I joined Eastside Pediatric Dental Group in 2008 as a Dental Assistant.
I love working with kids, and their parents, helping make the experience in our office a great one, and furthering their dental education. As a senior assistant, I also help facilitate the training of our new team members to support them in providing the best care for our patients.
Prior to working in the dental field, I worked for 22 years in the restaurant industry, and I continue to do this on the weekends. In my spare time, I enjoy relaxing and spending time with my husband, our animals, family, and friends.
Hi! I’m Roberto. I joined Eastside Pediatric Dental Group in 2024 as a Dental Assistant.
I’ve always enjoyed working with children, which inspired me to complete the Dental Assisting program at Puget Sound Skills Center. Once I discovered pediatric dentistry, I knew it was exactly where I wanted to be. I love helping kids feel comfortable and confident during their dental visits and being part of creating healthy smiles.
When I’m not at work, I enjoy staying active at the gym, spending time outdoors, painting, photography, watching anime, and caring for my many plants. I’m a proud plant parent and am always looking for an excuse to add another plant to my collection! Family, creativity, and a little bit of sunshine keep me happy both in and out of the office.

I am a lifelong Washington resident and graduated from Mount Si High School. In my spare time I like to play music, go to the gym and watch football (Go Seahawks!)

I live with my dog Jerry, a very active and friendly pomeranian who loves his treats!

I’ve lived in Washington my whole life and I graduated from Tahoma High School!
During my free time I like to be outdoors with friends and family. I’m really into painting and making my own jewelry.
I’ve been working with special needs kids for 5 years now. I have experience as a Behavioral Technician and family members on the spectrum who push my passion for the Autism community!
