Oral Health Academy Instructors

Introducing Gina Gabriel. Gina has been a registered dental assistant for 12 years and has also worked as a dental administrator. Her vision has always been to work within Indigenous communities to expand the access to education. Gina originates from the Syilx territory, also known as the Okanagan.  She identified a need for educated dental administrators during her work in the field and created Oral Health Academy to support and strengthen this role.  When Gina is not working, she spends time with her children, granddaughter and dogs. She enjoys living healthy and is an avid animal lover.  She loves visiting her family in the beautiful Okanagan!

Introducing Lindsay Kirkbright.  Lindsay has been a dental administrator for 10 years and has also worked as a sterilization tech.  Lindsay has her secondary education degree in math and science.  When searching for continuing education for her role as a dental administrator, Lindsay realized there was lack of options to pursue studies in this field. She created Oral Health Academy to provide in depth knowledge, skills and attitudes for a gratifying career in dental administration.  When not working, Lindsay spends time with her husband, son, and two adorable cats.  She loves spending time at her family lake house in the summer and playing competitive soccer.
