Arcea Chavez
Office Manager
Hi, I’m Arcea! Originally from San Jose, California, I’ve called Colorado home for many years now—but as a born-and-raised Bay Area girl, I’ll always stay loyal to my San Francisco 49ers! When I’m not at the office, you can usually find me spending quality time with my big family or curled up with a good book. I’m also a proud dog mom to three cute pups who are convinced they’re human. My husband and I are huge fans of all things Marvel and Disney, and we love taking trips to Disneyland to embrace our inner kids. That playful spirit is exactly what makes working at Clover Kids so special. As the Office Manager, my goal is to create a warm, welcoming, and organized environment that supports both our amazing team and the families we serve. The energy, compassion, and dedication of our team truly make a difference in the positive experiences our patients and families have every day, and I’m so proud to be a part of it!
Jessica Cabral
Lead Dental Assistant
Hello my name is Jessica! I was born and raised in Denver, Colorado. Growing up I spent a lot of time riding horses, going to rodeos with my dad, and helping my dad feed the animals at our family ranch. We had horses, chickens, cows and at one point we even had pigs and goats.
Having this time with my dad growing up has taught me how to be gentle and patient which is a huge part of my career now. I love being a Dental Assistant at Clover Kids Dentistry because I truly enjoy working with kids. I love seeing them grow and develop into their little personalities at every visit. The best part of the day is seeing the kids leave with a happy healthy smile.
Ashlei Hardy
Patient Coordinator
Hello there! My name is Ashlei and I am from Harbor City, CA. I have lived in Colorado since 2010 but love to go back home as often as possible. I love going to see new movies at the theater and working out with my spouse to an awesome playlist! Sam Cooke is my absolute favorite artist and his music holds a very special place in my heart. My guilty pleasure is pretty much anything mint chocolate – yum! The best part of my job as the Patient Coordinator is working with kids! I find that being around children always takes me back to the good ole’ days when life wasn’t so serious and there wasn’t any care in the world. It is definitely a nice reminder to slow down, be a little more carefree and gentle on yourself, and live in the moment – especially in this fast adult life that seems to just pass us by!
Doriscela Ibanez
Dental Assistant
Hello, I’m Doriscela! I was born and raised in Denver, Colorado. I love spending quality time with my family, and in my free time, I enjoy practicing acrylic nails or playing with my dog, Turbo. As a dental assistant at Clover Kids Dentistry, I truly love being part of the team—especially working with kids! I understand that visiting the dentist can feel a little scary, and that’s okay! My job is to help kids feel comfortable every step of the way. I take the time to explain everything gently, listen to their worries, and move at their pace. Whether it’s using calming words or taking deep breaths together, we’ll turn those nerves into confidence—one smile at a time.

Dental Assistant
Hi, I’m Emely, and I’m a dental assistant at Clover Kids Dentistry! I was born and raised right here in Colorado. In my free time, I enjoy listening to music, painting, exploring new restaurants, and trying new things with friends. I’m also a cat lover—cats are one of my favorite things, and I have three of them! One of the best parts of my job is watching kids overcome their fear of the dentist—it always puts a smile on my face. I also love teaching kids about oral hygiene and helping them build healthy habits that will last a lifetime.
Haley Grotewiel
Receptionist
Hi, I’m Haley! I’m the first smiling face you’ll see when you walk into our office! I was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, and made the move to beautiful Colorado to be closer to family. Outside of work, I’m all about being outdoors—whether I’m hiking in the mountains or walking my dogs around the neighborhood. I also love traveling to new places (especially anywhere with a great view), discovering new music, and spending cozy evenings with my family. I’m so grateful to be part of a team that’s dedicated to creating a fun, friendly, and stress-free experience for kids and their families.
Romina Chaparro
Dental Assistant
Hello! I’m Romina, and I’m a dental assistant at Clover Kids Dentistry. I’m originally from Colorado, and when I’m not working, you can find me at concerts or trying new restaurants. Although, most of the time, I enjoy staying in and watching a good movie. I also love to travel and hope to do it more often—I want to experience as many places as I can! Going into dentistry, I knew I wanted to work with kids, and here we are! I find joy in making dental experiences enjoyable and engaging for kids. I aim to educate young patients on the importance of oral hygiene and love seeing their smiles light up when they learn something new about taking care of their teeth.
Nataly Najera
Dental Assistant
Hello, my name is Nataly. I am a Dental Assistant at Clover Kids Dentistry, a job I absolutely love. I was born and raised in Colorado. I enjoy experiencing all the beautiful mountains that we have with my family who mean the world to me. I am one of five kids, four brothers and me. I have two amazing little girls of my own and they are the reason I love working with kids. It is such a gift being able to treat every single child that walks in the way I would want my kids to be treated. I love that I can make a difference in a child’s dental experience making every single visit a positive one! Working with kids is the most rewarding job in my opinion because the smiles and giggles you receive at the end of each visit are so genuine and sweet. They will always tell you how it is and are the best patients to work with. All of this makes this job worthwhile!se Description
