Our Team

I love working with Dr. Scott, Dr. Hunter, and our wonderful staff! I have worked with the office for over 20 years now! We are all very close like family. I love my job! I enjoy the friendships I have made with my patients. I also enjoy educating my patients so they can strive to have a happy, healthy smile and overall better health.

Outside of work, I also work along with my husband in our own tile and stone business. I enjoy spending time with my husband and two boys and best friend, my mom! I enjoy the great outdoors of camping, riding dirt bikes, snow skiing, and hanging out at the ocean!

I’m a local Paradise girl, born and raised. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in dental hygiene after attending college in Texas. While I loved Texas, I am happy to be back in Paradise and near my family again. I love dental hygiene. My favorite aspect of my job is getting to know my patients personally and building relationships with them. I absolutely love working at this office because we are like family here! When I’m not working, I enjoy playing racquetball and ultimate frisbee, hiking, being involved with my church, and spending time with my family – especially my little nieces and nephew! I can’t wait to meet you, and I hope you’ll be the next member of our dental family! 

After growing up in the Bay Area and enjoying many years along the coast, I ventured up to Butte County with my love of 25 years. We enjoy raising our three children and the slower paced lifestyle in Northern California. Never could I have imagined our most recent “adventure” though we look forward to rebuilding our home and community in Paradise following the Camp Fire.

I joined Hanosh & Hunter Dental Group with ten years of experience in Dental Hygiene. I’ve now had the pleasure of sharing almost seven years amongst a group of amazing humans who share the important vision of excellent patient care in a safe and friendly environment while staying committed to advancing our skills and knowledge in dentistry. I enjoy the opportunity to create relationships with my patients while helping them achieve an understanding of their role in complete oral care and its importance to their overall health. I look forward to the continued growth of our dental family and connecting with the individuals of our community.

Lacie  is a registered dental hygienist who joined our team in 2025. She earned her Associate’s degree in Natural Science and Dental Hygiene from Carrington College Boise, ID. Lacie has years of experience with a strong focus on patient education and prevention. Known for her gentle touch and ability to put anxious patients at ease. Lacie takes pride in building lasting and trusting relationships. Outside the office, she enjoys riding horses, fishing, and spending time with her family and friends.

I recently moved to the area and I’m loving the nature that encompasses Chico, especially the rivers and lakes! I’ve always enjoyed the outdoors — hiking, swimming, and tossing a softball from time to time. I love to catch up on a few TV shows, draw, and paint during my free time. 

I went to Loma Linda University to receive my bachelor’s degree in dental hygiene. I graduated top of my class, elected to membership in Sigma Phi Alpha, and received the Dean’s Award. Now, I am proud to say that I am a member of the Hanosh and Hunter Dental Group, a group that has been ever so welcoming and caring. I also have the amazing opportunity to work with my sister, Roxana! 

I’m happy to have a profession in which I can educate and help my patients maintain and reach a healthy smile, while having the opportunity to form friendships. I have always dreamed of having a career in which I could provide care to my patients’ overall health. I’m thrilled to be a part of this community and provide the dental knowledge I have.

My name is Taylor and I’m a Dental Hygienist here at H&H. I’ve been in the dental field since 2017 and graduated from dental hygiene school in Texas and later moved to Paradise in 2021. I’m so happy to be back on the West Coast and closer to family again. When it comes to dental hygiene, I’m especially passionate about periodontal disease, as well as sleep and airway dentistry. My favorite part of my job is building personal connections with my patients while helping them feel comfortable and confident in their oral health. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, gardening, and spending time outdoors—especially mountain biking and camping with my husband and 3 kids.

I look forward to meeting you and hope you’ll be just as excited to meet me!

My name is Bella , and I was born and raised in Redding, California. My husband and I have happily called Chico home for the past five years. I am a Registered Dental Hygienist, and my career in dentistry began as a sterilization technician and dental assistant. I later became a Registered Dental Assistant before completing the Dental Hygiene Program at Shasta College. I truly enjoy building one-on-one relationships with my patients and getting to know them over time. One of my favorite parts of working at Hanosh and Hunter is caring for entire families and being part of their long-term dental health journey. Outside of work, I love spending time in the sun with my husband and our dog—whether we’re hiking, camping, or out on the river or lake with our jet ski. I’m also a big fan of baseball and especially enjoy watching my three younger brothers play.

I grew up in Orland then moved to Redding where I received my associate’s degree in dental hygiene from Shasta College. I then moved to Chico to be closer to my friends and family. Hanosh and Hunter was my first office, where I started my career as a dental hygienist. Outside of work I love baking, spending time with my dog, and being outdoors.

My name is Mikaela, and I am a Registered Dental Assistant at Hanosh & Hunter Dental Group. I have experience assisting in a fast-paced dental setting and enjoy helping patients feel comfortable and cared for throughout their visit. One of the things I enjoy most about my work is supporting the team while also making a positive difference in each patient’s experience. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, gaming, and being outdoors hunting and fishing.

I was born and raised in Paradise. My husband  and I have two children. Both kids are very active in sports and we spend most of our evenings and weekends at softball & baseball games, wrestling tournaments, soccer games, etc. I’m a very proud sports mom! When we aren’t at sporting events, we love to spend time at our family cabin in Philbrook, go fishing, camping, hunting, and hiking.

I have been part of the Hanosh and Hunter team since 2013. I feel blessed to be able to work with this amazing group of people, who have become more like family than co-workers.

I am beginning my 43rd year in dentistry as a Registered Dental Assistant. I received my AA degree in Dental Assisting in 1975. I took the very first RDA in August of that year and received my license. I also went back to school and received my BS degree in Business in 1983. I began my career at the VA Hospital in Livermore the summer between my first and second year of school. I also did a quarter of internship there. After I graduated I worked in an office in Livermore as an RDA for 22 years before moving to the Redding area. I spent 17 years in a dental office in Anderson, CA, before the dentist decided to retire. I have been living here in Paradise for 13 years, so 12 of the 17 years I commuted everyday to Anderson. I was very fortunate to find a RDA position here in Paradise with Dr. Scott and Dr. Hunter. I feel very blessed, and my hope is to end my career here in this office. We do everything here that I have always dreamed of doing in the dental profession such as implant surgery, orthodontics, iv sedation, same day CEREC crowns. If I am not doing dentistry, you will find me in my backyard gardening.

I was born and raised right here in Paradise. I have been in the dental field for 11 years and love my job. What I love most is interacting with people and providing quality care for our patients. I have been with Hanosh and Hunter dental group for two years and wouldn’t change my job for the world. Our team is like family to me, and we treat our patients the same way. In my spare time I love spending time with my daughter and fiancé. 

My name is Jennah and I am a RDA, EF2. I have been in the dental field since 2012 starting my career here with Dr. Scott and Dr. Hunter. I was born and raised in Chico, CA. I am a mother to three beautiful children, including a set of boy/girl twins! My hubby and I grew up together and have spent most of our adult lives together. Fun fact: my mom was Eldon’s dental assistant when we were kids! I enjoy meeting new patients and helping them on their journey to a perfect smile. It is such a pleasure to watch patients start shy or fearful, but leave feeling confident and at ease about their dental experience.

On my time off, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. We love to traveI and make fun memories all together. I have always strongly valued family and spending quality time together, which is why I love this practice–it does not feel like work, it feels like family. I look forward to meeting you here to join our family too!

My name is Katlyn AKA Kat! I was born and raised in Sonoma County and moved to oroville in 2018! As soon as I moved here, I started the dental assisting program with Butte County ROP in Chico. Shortly after, I got my RDA license and am now working towards my RDAEF2! I love to interact with our patients and make it my goal to ensure you’re comfortable and as relaxed as possible while in the chair. I’m really passionate about giving you the best dental experience possible! I truly love the work we do here and enjoy that I’m always learning from our Doctors and patients! I’m recently engaged to my fiancé and we have one little fur baby named Buster! He’s a spoiled doggo. When I’m not here helping with your smile, you can find me spending time with my family and friends. Whether that be out on the town trying all the new foods, out on the lake or in the mountains! 

I am very fortunate to have found an office to call home and coworkers to call family! I look forward to seeing you at your next visit!

 Hi, I’m Sammi! I’m a RDAEF2 with 15 years of experience in the dental field. Caring for people is truly at the heart of everything I do. I know that going to the dentist can feel overwhelming for many, so I strive to create a calm, comfortable environment where patients feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. Being able to help someone walk out with more confidence and less fear is what makes my work so meaningful to me.

Outside of the office, my greatest joy is my family. I’m a proud mom to three amazing boys—two of my own and one incredible stepson, and have an amazing husband by my side and to enjoy life with. Our life is full of love, laughter, and a whole lot of sports, as our boys keep us busy with all their activities. When we’re not on the sidelines cheering them on, we love spending time outdoors and making memories together.

I’ve worked in the dental field for 4-5 years and have been working as a registered dental assistant for 3 years, and I truly enjoy helping patients feel at ease during their appointments. My favorite part of my job is building connections with patients and being able to support them through their dental care in a calm, compassionate way. I love that dentistry is both hands-on and fast-paced, and I enjoy working with a team that makes each day rewarding.
