LIVEWELL TEAM

Hello and welcome to Livewell Dental! I have the pleasure of being the first face you'll see when you visit our clinic.

I was born and raised in El Salvador and have been living in the beautiful Lorton area since 2010. I am a huge fútbol fan (Hala Madrid!), love traveling and enjoy being outdoors/staying active.

Welcoming and assisting patients is something I'm truly passionate about. Working along Dr. Chris and the Livewell Dental team is an incredible experience, we share the same vision and passion for providing genuine care and support to our patients. Together, we strive to create a warm and welcoming environment, ensuring that each person who walks through our doors receives the best possible care and attention.

We can't wait to meet you!

Hello! I'm a dental assistant with a passion for the hands-on and creative aspects of dentistry.

I love being part of a team that helps patients feel confident in their smiles while making their dental experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

Hi there! I'm Uree, and I'm so excited to welcome you to our office. I became a dental hygienist because I genuinely love connecting with people and helping them feel good about their health — and their smiles! Nothing makes me happier than seeing a nervous patient leave feeling more confident and cared for than when they walked in.

I've been in dentistry since 2018, working in both oral surgery and general practice, and I've found my sweet spot in creating gentle, thorough care that feels personal. My goal is always to make your visit feel easy, comfortable, and maybe even a little fun (yes, even at the dentist!).

I grew up in Lorton and still call Northern Virginia home, so being part of this community means a lot to me. When I'm not at work, you can usually find me exploring new restaurants, planning my next travel adventure, or staying up way too late watching K-dramas. Lately, I've also gotten into running — and I'm slowly but surely building up my race medal collection.

I can't wait to meet you, learn your story, and help you smile a little brighter every time you visit!

Hello! I'm Olivia, a dental assistant passionate about the beauty and precision of dentistry. I love developing skill set and expanding my knowledge of dentition and technique. As a life-long learner, I am dedicated to absorbing knowledge and serving others whenever possible.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Sciences at the University of Mary Washington. Though I was born and raised in Northern Virginia, my family roots are in rural Utah.

Crafting and creating through embroidery, sculpting, and painting are some of my favorite hobbies. I also enjoy reading and staying active through weight lifting, hiking, and sports like soccer and volleyball.

Dentistry is my passion, and I am grateful to have joined the Livewell team, where efficient, patient-centered care is pushed to its highest standard. The precision and dedication in every action reflect beautifully in the gorgeous smiles created and maintained with Dr. Chris and the excellent team!

Hello! I’m Cayla, one of the dental assistants here at Livewell Dental.
I graduated from UVA with a degree in Cognitive Science, and I’m continuing my journey toward becoming a dentist.

What I love about dentistry is that it brings together so many things I care about: art, science, and the chance to connect with people in a meaningful way.

At the office, I enjoy getting to know our patients, helping them feel comfortable, and being part of the process that helps someone smile with more confidence.

Outside of dentistry, I love building LEGO sets, watching Formula 1, and oil painting.
I’m so excited to meet you and help make your experience here a great one.

Hi! My name is Erica, and I'm an Insurance Support Specialist at Livewell Dental.

What I truly enjoy about working with Dr. Kim and the team is the constant opportunity to grow and discover new skills. I find immense satisfaction in building systems that help patients feel supported and ensure their appointments go smoothly. Contributing to something meaningful keeps me motivated and engaged every day.

Outside of work, I'm a big fan of K-pop idols—especially the group Seventeen—and I love getting lost in Korean movies and music. I also enjoy watching sunsets, being in high places where I can see mountains and city lights, and spending quality time with my family and friends. These peaceful moments help me recharge and stay grounded.

Above all, I believe in the power of positive communication and the importance of lifelong learning. I'm excited to be a part of your dental journey and look forward to helping make your experience with us smooth and stress-free!

Hi, my name is Kona, and I am the office mascot! Although you won't see me during business hours, I work off-hours to make sure every office corner is sparkly clean!

To look a part of being the mascot of a dental office, I brush my teeth daily and stay away from sweets. It's ruff!

When I am not busy working, I like to play fetch or take a stroll around Old Town Alexandria with my loving pawrents.
