Stephanie, RDA

Office Manager

In her late teens, Stephanie worked as a scrub tech at an office where they later asked her if she wanted to learn how to be a dental assistant—and on-the-job training followed. She’s been a dental assistant ever since! Stephanie has been with Dr. Christina from the very beginning, relocating from her home in San Antonio to Austin to be a part of the team. Stephanie is certified in CPR, nitrous oxide monitoring, and coronal polishing and sealants.

She cannot pinpoint one thing she loves about her job because it’s “basically everything.” Stephanie asks, “Where can you go to work and be a kid again?” She feels that when she sees a child who is happy to come to the dentist or who doesn’t want to leave after the appointment, the entire team has done their jobs right.

Stephanie and her wife Michelle are moms to fur babies Bailey, Bella, Blake and Bryn. The couple travels to San Antonio frequently to visit nieces and nephews so they can be a part of their activities as much as possible. She calls being a fur mom and an aunt an “absolute blessing.”
