Our Team | Meraki Dental

Vicki

Front Office

Vicki was born in Ontario and was raised in British Columbia from the age of 10. After graduating high school, she decided to give up on her dream of being a flight attendant because apparently there was a height requirement that she did not meet. Instead, she enrolled in the dental receptionist program and now ended up in the dental industry for over 8 years!

Vicki is fluent in Vietnamese and English. She loves camping, hiking or anything that has to do with the outdoors. She also enjoys horror movies and doing her nails. Her dream is to one day be able to travel the world and try new foods.

Lily

Certified Dental Assistant

Lily obtained her bachelor’s degree of Art Education in Shanghai, China. After coming to Canada, she completed her Certified Dental Assisting program and worked in Victoria where she learned and immersed herself into the Canadian culture. She moved to South Surrey in 2022, where she fell in love with the diversity of this city.

Lily is very personable and used to teach dance to kids. Her pleasant demeanour and dedication to delivering quality care is very much appreciated by the patients and everyone that she works with.

At her down time, Lily likes spending time with her family, making crafts and listening to the music with her son, or having some precious time to read at home.

Tifa

Certified Dental Assistant

Tifa was born and raised in Taiwan; she moved to Vancouver where she learned to become a certified dental assistant, after graduating from high school. She enjoys dentistry where she gets to chat with patients about anything that she can think of and tries her best to make patients feel comfortable.

In her free time, she loves to spend time with her family. She has just become a mom in 2020 and she is in love with this new title. Now she reads with her little one every night, and she really enjoys motherhood.

Danielle

Danielle was born and raised in beautiful sunny Tsawwassen. Having had severe dental anxiety as a child, it has brought an additional element of gentleness, empathy, and understanding to Danielle’s practice to ensure her patients are completely comfortable while in her chair.

Danielle absolutely loves being a dental hygienist because it allows her to make a real difference in people’s lives every day. From educating patients on oral health to seeing the transformation of their smiles, the impact of our work is incredibly fulfilling. The trust and relationships we build with our patients is priceless, and knowing that we’re helping them achieve better health and confidence makes every day rewarding. It’s a profession that blends science, compassion, and artistry, and Danielle can’t imagine doing anything else.

In her free time, Danielle enjoys helping out at our local animal shelter, and spending quality time with her family, husband, and two dogs.
Having joined Dr Huang and Dr Zhang in 2022, Danielle is thrilled to be able to provide thorough, yet gentle dental care in our community
