Meet Your New Tumwater Dental Team

DeAnna’s primary responsibility in the practice is managing the business so Dr. Jude and the other team members can remain focused on providing the highest level of care to our patients. Her experience spans two decades, ranging from dental assisting to management. DeAnna is responsible for accounting, human resources, marking, and patient advocacy.

DeAnna graduated from the University of Washington, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in business and marketing. When she is not working, you’ll likely find her outdoors or gardening.

Rose has been working in dentistry for over 20 years, but she joined our team in 2018. In addition to her EFDA license, Rose is a nationally certified dental assistant. She enjoys helping patients understand their dental needs and providing anticipatory guidance to patients for their long-term dental needs and goals. Rose likes providing a safe and welcoming environment for patients with dental anxieties and/or complex dental needs.

In her free time, Rose enjoys camping and fishing with friends and family. Outdoor adventures in the Great Pacific Northwest are the best!

Tina works as a patient advocate, so if it has to do with paper or patients, it’s part of her job! She has worked with Dr. Jude and his team since 2017, but she has been in the dental field since 1982. She is a registered dental assistant. Tina genuinely enjoys every part of her job and the people she gets to work with, especially our patients! She just loves working – everything else is gravy.

Speaking of gravy, ask Tina about cooking! She loves to share recipes and cooking ideas. She also loves to share pictures of her grandbabies, but her biggest passion is genealogy – let’s dig up some roots!
