Rochelle – Registered Dental Hygienist
I began my dental career as an assistant in 1995, and continued my education at the University of Anchorage to become a dental hygienist in 2004. Being a hygienist allows me to work with all kinds of people and build relationships with them. Education is an important aspect of my job, and I spend a lot of time explaining to my patients the best ways to care for their oral health at home. I feel very supported by our team here, since the doctors are patient, kind, and do excellent dental work. They care about their patients and their staff like family.
I married Brandon in 2003 and have three children, Arina, Blayne, and Parker. We also have a Border Collie lab named Mickey and a Cocker Spaniel, Sammy. I am a hockey mom in winter and a soccer mom/coach in summer. I like quiet days to crochet, do bookwork for my husband’s truck driving business, exercise, and cook. I also enjoy our hockey road trips to bond with my kids, as well as our trips to our cabin in Central to play with our 4-wheelers, and going on hikes with my parents.
Nicole – Registered Dental Hygienist
I graduated from UAF with a dental assisting certificate and worked as a dental assistant from 2005 to 2011. In 2013, I graduated from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences with a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene. My time with Dr. Hadfield and our team here began in 2014, and I’m so happy to be a part of this team. We all have the same focus on our patients and try to provide them with the best care possible. My ultimate goal is to provide my patients with the education to become motivated to improve their oral health.
I have lived here in Alaska three different times throughout my life due to the military. My husband has since gotten out and decided to make our home here. We have two boys born in 2010 and 2017. We love being outdoors whenever possible! I try to take my kids out to the various events around the community, enjoy being active and staying fit by lifting weights, and love to read when I have a moment.
Tanya – Registered Dental Hygienist
I began my career in dentistry as a dental assistant in 2005, receiving my training right here at Chena Dental Care. I decided that I wanted to pursue dental hygiene and, in 2008, was accepted in the UAF dental hygiene school. In 2010, I began my new position here as a registered dental hygienist! I am here to give our patients proper in-office oral therapy and education on how to maintain good oral health at home. The most rewarding part of my job is getting to know my patients and building a relationship with them, as well as seeing the improvements in their oral health.
I was born and raised in North Pole Alaska, and graduated from North Pole High School in 2004. I have three children, ages seven, five, and three. We love Alaska and being outdoors!
