Nicole, Registered Dental Hygienist

I started my career in dentistry as a Dental Assistant in Modesto in 1997. I quickly discovered that I love dentistry but that assisting wasn’t a perfect fit for me. I then worked as a Dental Health Educator for a nonprofit and took pre-requisites at Modesto Junior college, until I was accepted into the dental hygiene program at Chabot College in Hayward. I earned my RDH in 2003 and have since worked primarily in private practice. I love to mentor new dental team members and have an affinity for the particular, special needs, and challenging patients of a practice. I recently graduated from the Foothill College BSDH program and am looking forward to expanding my experiences and options that this degree provides. I currently work in a private practice in the Santa Cruz mountains where I live with my family. On my time away from dentistry, I enjoy hiking, bookclub, and kayaking.

When Vanessa isn’t battling insurance companies on behalf of her patients, she is best know as a neurodivergent multi-media artist working among the towering redwoods of Boulder Creek, California.

Aka: Anything she can get her hands on for as long as it can hold her attention. Inspired to create more frequently during the pandemic, her most recent work has delved into creating poured planets and butterflies, as well as digital illustration. Her drawn works have been featured as covers for Journey Planet, Claims Department, and The Drink Tank, and she has created interior art for lulzine. She is a 2022 Hugo award nominee for Best Fanzine as an editor of Journey Planet.
