Marissa grew up in Kamloops most of her life but left in 2015 to Vancouver Island where she completed her Dental Hygiene Diploma at Camosun College in 2020. During her time at Camosun, she worked in a dental office as an office administrator to gain some extra knowledge of how a dental practice runs. Her main goal in her daily practice is to make everyone feel comfortable, and change their mind set of what coming to the dentist means to them by doing her best to create a positive and pain free experience. Marissa is passionate about the oral systemic link and strives to provide everyone with patient centered care that treats not only your mouth but your whole body!

Marissa moved back to Kamloops in October of 2023 to be closer to her family. In her free time, Marissa likes to spend her time with her partner and dog, Fin! Her hobbies include traveling, hiking, yoga, crocheting and reading.

Janene joined our dental hygiene team in the Summer of 2022 after graduating from the Toronto College of Dental Hygiene. Although she studied out east, Janene is from the lower mainland of BC and wanted to settle in a community where she could travel, hike, kayak, go camping, and ride motorcycles! From a young age, she developed an interest in health care, which has fueled her passion for connecting with individuals and educating them on the significant role they play in their own health. Janene also has over 15 years’ experience working in the medical field, which gave her an advantage when working directly with clients and relating to them in meaningful and impactful ways.

Although it’s been a short time, Janene has become an integral member of our team and Horizon Dental and is building her skills rapidly through teamwork and focusing on patient care.
