“Making a positive impact on people’s health and smiles makes me happiest. Visiting the dentist can be stressful, and I love being able to reassure my patients and make them comfortable.”
Catarina earned her CDA certification from CDI College in Winnipeg. With more than nine years of experience, she provides high-quality clinical assistance and supports the dentist throughout a variety of procedures.
Passionate about making nervous patients feel at ease in an environment that can sometimes feel intimidating, Catarina enjoys working within a patient-centred model of care where she can make a difference in people’s lives.
On weekends, Catarina can often be found enjoying the outdoors, spending time with family, travelling, or learning new recipes. She also hopes to return to school on a part-time basis. Few people know just how well travelled she is—she has lived across Canada as well as in Italy and Portugal. One of the movies she feels best describes her life is Eat, Pray, Love!
