Hello, I am Raquelle. I am the office manager as well as a dental hygienist at Dana Dental Arts. I graduated from the University of South Dakota with a Bachelor of Science degree in dental hygiene in 1999. At that time, I was inducted into the national hygiene sorority, Sigma Phi Alpha. I worked at Dana Dental Arts as an administrative assistant six years prior to receiving my hygiene degree. I previously served as president on the South Dakota Dental Hygienist’s Association Board. I am a member of the American Dental Hygienists’ Association and South Dakota Dental Hygienists’ Association. I love what I do! I know our patients receive the best dental treatment in a very caring environment! I married my soul mate, Eric, in 2001. We are proud parents of a daughter and son. My passions outside of work include scrapbooking, sewing, traveling and spending time with my family and friends. The most joy I have in life is creating memories with my husband, kids, parents, siblings, nieces and nephews!

Hi, I’m Tessa. I moved to Rapid City in January 2014 and have been a dental hygienist at Dana Dental Arts since then. I work both in the Rapid City and Spearfish offices. I was born and raised in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. I graduated from the University of South Dakota Dental Hygiene Program in May 2013 and made the Black Hills my home a short time after that. I love my new home and I love the people I work with and the patients I serve. When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time outdoors doing the many outdoor activities the Hills area has to offer. I also enjoy spending time with my family, friends and husband, Grant.

Hello! My name is Sarah and I graduated from North Dakota State College of Science in 2017. I am excited to serve and get to know all of my patients here at Dana Dental Arts. Broadening and expanding my dental knowledge is something I look forward to and I could not be happier to be able to do that with the great team at Dana Dental Arts! I am a North Dakota native, and I am eager to explore and get to know this new area; what better place than the beautiful Black Hills in South Dakota? Traveling is a hobby of mine, and I am always itching for a new adventure! So far, I have been to 15 different countries and 11 different states, with a long list to go! In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, going to the movies, hiking, riding bikes … basically anything outdoors! I am excited to start exploring all that the Black Hills has to offer, and I cannot wait to meet your smiling faces!

Hey there! My name is Katelyn. I am originally from Bismarck, North Dakota, where I grew up and lived until I graduated from high school. I then attended the University of Minnesota, where I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Dental Hygiene. While in college, I was able to be part of an exchange program where I practiced dental hygiene for two months in Bergen, Norway; that was such an amazing experience! After graduation, I moved to Colorado, where I worked as a dental hygienist for two years. In 2017, I decided to move a bit closer to home and started my career at Dana Dental Arts! I have been welcomed with open arms and am very excited to be a part of this beautiful town and wonderful community. I am looking forward to caring for you and meeting you soon!

Hi, my name is Jordyn. I am originally from Hill City, South Dakota, where I grew up and lived until I graduated from high school. I then attended the University of South Dakota where I received my Bachelor of Science degree in dental hygiene. After graduation, I moved back to the southern hills and worked in Custer, South Dakota, for a little over three years. I then found my place here in Spearfish with Dana Dental Arts in 2018. I have since found my home in Sturgis, South Dakota. I look forward to meeting you and taking care of your dental needs.

Hello! My name is Natalie. I grew up in the beautiful Black Hills and attended the University of South Dakota. After college, we moved to Colorado where I lived for six years. We are very excited to be back in the Black Hills with our family and friends! I love my job and have a passion for being a life-long learner. I love to build relationships with my patients and help them achieve a greater standard of health, both orally and systemically. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two dogs. We love to hike, mountain bike, ski and golf. I look forward to exploring the hills further. I will see you soon!

Hello! My name is Ashley, and I am a graduate of the dental hygiene program at Carrington College in Boise, Idaho. I graduated high school in Newcastle, Wyoming, and spent lots of time in the beautiful Black Hills! Before attending dental hygiene school, I was a dental assistant, which is where I learned to truly love the dental field. During my time in hygiene school I participated in multiple public health programs providing services to the most underserved populations, which I truly enjoyed. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my small family, camping, hiking, swimming and exploring with our dog. I am so thrilled to be a part of the Dana Dental Arts team and to serve this great area!
