Meet The Jeffersonville Team

Ana , EFDA

Office Manager & Expanded Functions Dental Assistant

1. How did you get into dentistry? 

I've always had a strong passion for helping others. Initially, I pursued a career in nursing, but as I explored different paths in healthcare, the dental field truly captured my interest. That led me to pursue my education and certification as an Expanded Function Dental Assistant (EFDA). Shortly after graduating, I was offered the opportunity to stay on as an instructor in the dental program at Manor College—an experience that deepened my commitment to patient care. It was during my time there that I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Kaffey! 

2. How long have you been working here?

I have been working in both offices since 2021


3. What do you like about your job?

I take pride in helping patients feel comfortable in the dental chair, especially knowing that dentistry can be a source of anxiety for many. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing a patient smile with confidence after completing their treatment. I also appreciate that dentistry is a constantly evolving field—there’s always something new to learn, which keeps me inspired and continuously growing in my profession.

4. Tell a little about yourself/what do you like to do in your free time?

I was born in Portugal and am fluent in Portuguese! In September 2023, I got married to husband Jorge. In May 2024, we welcomed our beautiful daughter—an incredible milestone that has brought immense joy to my life! I enjoy spending time with both of them, as well as swimming and reading!
