We are proud to feature Monica, a dedicated dental assistant who joined our team in 2017 after graduating from a local dental assisting school. During her comprehensive year-long training, Monica gained extensive clinical experience both chairside and in our dental laboratory, honing her skills right here in our office.

Originally from Barranquilla, Colombia, Monica pursued her initial education at Santiago de Cali University, where she earned a degree in Pre-School Education. She spent several years teaching in Colombia before relocating to Florida. Continuing her passion for education, she earned her CDA license from Miami-Dade College after moving to Miami, which uniquely positioned her to merge her educational skills with her growing interest in dentistry.
Monica has become an integral part of our pediatric dental care team, particularly excelling in assisting with orthodontic care. Her background in education and her gentle approach with children make her an invaluable asset to our practice.

Married for over 28 years to Rafael, a member of the US Coast Guard, Monica enjoys a fulfilling family life with her husband and son, Matthew, and Micho, her cat. Traveling remains one of her favorite activities, providing her and her family with cherished memories and experiences.

Monica's unique blend of skills and her commitment to patient care enrich our practice, making her a beloved member of our team.
