Meet Michelle – Hawaiian-Born Hygienist with a Passion for Smiles, Travel, and Adventure

Originally from the beautiful shores of Hawai’i, Michelle brings the aloha spirit to everything she does. She proudly attended undergrad at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, and later moved to California to complete her studies, graduating with her Bachelor’s degree in Dental Hygiene from the University of the Pacific in 2016.

With nearly a decade of experience in the dental field, Michelle remains deeply passionate about dental hygiene. Her expertise isn’t limited to the clinical side. She also has valuable experience as a Treatment Plan Coordinator, helping patients navigate their journey to better oral health with clarity and care.

When she isn’t helping patients achieve brighter smiles, Michelle is an avid explorer. She and her husband are always on the move—whether they are traveling, catching the latest musicals and shows, or hunting for the best new food spots.

A true “kid at heart,” Michelle is a self-proclaimed Sanrio and Disney fanatic. On her days off, you can find her either soaking up the sun as a dedicated beach-goer, exploring local trails while hiking, or getting lost in a good book.

As a proud hygienist of the team, she warmly welcomes you at The Foleck Center and is ready to help you smile with confidence.
