Alexia

Hi, my name is Alexia. I was born in Riverside, California, and raised in San Diego. I’ve been a dental assistant for nearly 12 years and am currently working toward furthering my career as a dental hygienist. I continue to grow professionally while working with Dr. Curtis Howard. What draws me to dentistry is the hands-on nature of the work and the opportunity to build trust with patients over time. I enjoy being part of a field that combines precision, care, and connection, while helping people maintain their oral health and feel comfortable during their visits. My favorite title is “Mama,” and I cherish spending time with my child. Outside of work, I enjoy music, art, culture, running, hiking, and making memories with my family.
