Meet the Team

We are pleased to welcome you and your family, and we look forward to working with you.
Stephanie
Office Manager
It’s so much fun to help kids learn that they don’t need to worry about coming to see us. Once they see our smiles, and see their fellow patients laughing and joking with our team, they relax a lot. Seeing a child smile at the end of the visit is the best feeling! I manage the office, answer our phones, set regular appointments, and schedule general anesthesia appointments. I also work on community outreach, explain treatment plans, handle payments and nightly deposits, and am here to help with whatever is needed.
My family keeps me busy outside of work. I’m married to Stephen and have two children: Logan is my son and Liberty is my daughter. We also have two dogs, Lola and Phylo. I enjoy reading, writing, and blogging, and love dog shows.

Co-Lead Dental Assistant
I love making sure our patients have fun during their visits. When I can get a shy child to open up with me, or a fearful child to start laughing and relaxing, I’m thrilled. This is a positive space, with a great team, and our patients soon learn to look forward to coming to see us. Our patients often have me laughing while I clean their teeth and assist Dr. de Luna during dental procedures. Seeing happy smiles at the end of a visit is a great feeling, and always my goal.
My husband Therman and I have two children: our son, Therman IV, and our daughter, Kenadie. We also have a family dog, Bella. I enjoy spending quality time with my family, attending my kids’ sporting events, and traveling.
Skyla
Co-Lead Dental Assistant
I love working with kids. I’ve always been a people person, and spending my days surrounded by smiling, happy kids is simply the best. It’s fun to watch kids get excited about taking care of their teeth, and I am glad to be part of that process. I assist Dr. de Luna as he cares for patients; I sit chairside and support him and our patient. I also order our dental equipment and supplies, ensure everything is sterilized, and answer questions from patients and parents.
My husband Jason and my daughter Chloe, and my bonus daughter Riley, are my focus outside of work. I also love to travel, enjoy playing softball and going snowboarding, and am a fan of major league baseball. By the way, I go to Disneyland at least once a year.

Christina
Dental Assistant
I graduated from the dental program at Cascadia Tech Academy in 2022. I started my pursuit of a career in dentistry as a sterile tech and am now a registered dental assistant at DELUNA KIDS DENTAL. I’m a former patient of Dr. de Luna, and he and this team provided me with positive and supportive dental care. Now I get to do the same! I highly enjoy working with young kids and being able to do their cleanings. It’s always great to see a clean and happy smile! I also like the conversations and overall communication with both kids and parents. I believe conversation is key to a comfortable experience and a healthy environment.
I am a graduate of Heritage High School. In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis and the piano.

David
Finance / Marketing
I love making sure our practice runs smoothly, so the team can focus on what’s important: our patients! I work with a great group of people, and love seeing them build strong friendships with our patients and their families. Hearing the shared laughter as they swap jokes always makes me smile. I handle all accounting matters for the practice, including budgeting, purchasing, and payroll, along with our human resources and marketing/social media.
When I’m not working, I love traveling, especially exploring the Portland/Vancouver area and the Northwest. I love flying and am a big nerd, with a BA, MA, and MBA. I love building blocks and love that I get to build the office display models!
