Hello my name is Ysela, I am 24 years old and have been a dental assistant for about 6 years now. I have actually been a patient of Dr. Merchant since I was 15 years old and she is much of the reason why I got into this field. I love helping people and working in Pediatrics for the first couple of years as a DA helped me realize that I love what I do and love making the Dentist office a not so scary place.
I believe that developing positive experiences at a young age can help patients enjoy going to the dentist as they get older. I am thankful I get to be a part of making sure our patients leave with a smile. I am currently taking colleges courses with the goal of becoming a Dental Hygienist. When I’m not working my boyfriend and I love traveling but especially when we get to go to Disneyland or an LA Dodgers game. I love the sports and the outdoors so in my free time I love going fishing, camping, playing some baseball or softball with family, and taking my dog Khloe to the park to run around.
