Meet The TeamOlive Family Dentistry

Hi , my name is Rita, and I am one of the dental hygienists at Olive Family Dentistry. I graduated from USC in 1997, and have been practicing dental hygiene ever since. I love what I do. I love my patients, and after so many years , they have become my friends. I also love being part of this amazing dental team, we have a lot of fun together. I’m married to my best friend, and we have two wonderful daughters. I love traveling with my family , from RVing through Alaska to exploring other countries overseas.

Best advice I can give my girls about life is “ Expect nothing, and appreciate everything”. My overall goal is to lead a healthy and happy life , with no regrets. YOLO!

My name is Lina Sepanian. I’m originally from Iran but Armenian. I’ve been a dental hygienist for over 21 years, a career that has taught me the value of responsibility, compassion, patience, and connecting with people. I’m grateful for the experience I’ve gained along the way and continue to love learning and growing both personally and professionally. I consider myself a positive thinker, responsible, calm (for the most part, lol!), and empathetic. One of my biggest goals in life is to become the best version of myself—not for anyone else, but for myself and for the future I’m creating.

"I love discovering new things, being surrounded by nature, listening to music, and traveling. I believe life is about continuing to grow, staying curious, appreciating the little things, and becoming a little better and wiser along the way. I’m excited for everything still ahead."

Hi everyone! I’m Elizabeth, one of the hygienists here at Olive Family Dentistry. Growing up, I always had positive experiences at the dental office which motivated me to pursue dental hygiene. I strive to create positive experiences for all of my patients. Some of my hobbies consist of working out, taking walks, hiking with friends and playing with my 13 year old Chihuahua.

"I look forward to meeting everyone and encouraging healthy oral hygiene habits!"
