Kaitlin, Registered Dental Hygienist

Kaitlin was born and raised in Vernon. She moved across the country to complete her dental hygiene education at the Toronto College of Dental Hygiene and Auxiliaries where she graduated in 2011.

After working in Edmonton, her love of the Okanagan and strong family ties here in Vernon drew her back – bringing her (now) husband with her.

One of Kaitlin’s favourite parts of her job is establishing great relationships with her patients, while helping them achieve their oral health goals

In her spare time, Kaitlin can be found embracing the chaos of motherhood as she chases after her two young kids. Some of her other loves include thrifting, exploring the outdoors, and anything Disney.
