Hi! I’m Maggie Wario. I grew up in Merced and moved to Tuolumne County in 2019. I started working here in 2020 and became a Registered Dental Assistant (RDA) in 2022. You’ll usually find me assisting in the back, but don’t be surprised if I pop up at the front desk too—I like to keep things interesting! When I’m not helping patients or explaining why you really do need to floss more, I’m probably organizing a game night with friends or reigning supreme in a competitive round of UNO. I also serve as a youth leader at my church, which keeps me on my toes and fills my heart.
My name is Emily Memmer, I started my dental career in 2017 chairside assisting, earning my RDA license in 2019. In 2021, I transitioned primarily working in the front office. I enjoy working directly with patients, helping them with treatment plans, navigating insurance policies, and scheduling. From time to time, I get to utilize my RDA license, and help Dr. Rasco with chairside assisting. I really enjoy working in the dental field, working alongside Dr. Rasco and the rest of the team at Sierra Family Dental! When I’m not working, I enjoy camping, boating and spending time with my family, in our beautiful Tuolumne County.
My name is Jenna Wynn and I have been working as an RDA at Dr Rasco’s office on a per-diem basis. I am married and have two adorable fur babies, Steve and Lucy. Working in the dental field has been great, I enjoy the fast pace as well as the challenge!
Maranda, RDH
Hello all! I was born in Modesto but raised most of my life here in Tuolumne County. I have loved growing up here and cannot wait to have a family of my own to raise here in Tuolumne county. I have two adorable kitties as of right now. I love doing anything outdoors, from camping to hiking or swimming with sharks in the ocean. I have a passion for traveling as I have been to over 5 different countries. I have been an RDH for just over 2 years now and have been loving it. I cannot wait to see where it takes me in the future.
My name is Katie Anderson and I am delighted to be working with Dr. Rasco and his exceptional team as a registered dental assistant. I attended RDA school at Palomar College in southern California and
quickly realized I had found my passion. I continued my education in Public Health Science and have plans to attend a dental hygiene program. I grew up in the Sonora area and feel fortunate to have access to special places like Dragoon Gulch Trail and Yosemite. Our community is important to me and I am
thrilled to be serving patients at Sierra Family Dental.
