Tasha is a graduate of ACT College in Rosslyn, VA, where she studied dental assisting. Due to her strong passion for dentistry, over the years, she has increased her knowledge and obtained her EFDA, CDA, and COA in dentistry. With 24 years of experience, she has had the opportunity to work in a variety of specialties in dentistry, all of which she enjoyed. Tasha explains, “My dental career has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Being able to work with wonderful patients, being a source of comfort, and being a part of making patients smile has brought me great joy. I can also say that this is by far the best dental office and team I’ve ever worked with. Everyone is so loving, compassionate, and ready to help. A true team. Outside of work, Tasha loves spending time with her husband, cooking, and regularly attending Christian meetings with her family.”

Katherine grew up in Columbus, GA, and made the move to Alexandria in 2022 for her husband’s work. Inspired by her own positive experiences with a wonderful dentist during her childhood, she developed a passion for the dental field and its impact on healthcare. 

What Katherine loves most about dentistry is the opportunity to form genuine connections with patients and support them on their journey to achieving their treatment goals. She particularly enjoys working with Invisalign, as it allows her to witness the transformation of her patients' confidence as they complete their smile journeys.

Outside of the office, Katherine is dedicated to healthy living. She teaches classes at a local fitness studio, where she encourages others to embrace wellness in their lives. In her free time, you can find her reading or traveling with her husband, exploring new places and creating lasting memories.

Recipient of the Lynne Garris Shelton volunteerism award, Rane graduated Cum Laude from Northern VA Community College with a degree in Dental Hygiene. She also holds a B.S. degree in Journalism and Mass Communication from the University of Wisconsin. Rane relishes her profession as a hygienist, in part, because MT Dental Partners has the latest and best equipment, tools, and techniques, and because of her interaction with patients. “I love working for MT Dental Partners and the rest of our team. Our unified commitment to a higher standard of dentistry is unmatched by any other dentist I have worked with,” observes Rane. “The staff is dedicated to providing the best care and everyone is excited about the dentistry we deliver under our doctors direction and expertise. We really do care about our patients and have the opportunity to give quality time and workmanship to each individual who walks through our doors. It is a pleasure to be able to practice this way.”

Rane is a wife and a Mom to a grown son and twin daughters. Now that her daughters are away at college, she enjoys being an empty nester and spends her free time baking, cooking, traveling and hanging out with her husband, Scott. She hopes to take on some new hobbies soon such as gardening.

Anita joined MT Dental Partners in January 2025 and brings over 27 years of managerial experience in the dental field. Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, Anita is known for her warm personality, dedication to patient care, and talent for keeping the practice running smoothly. She's passionate about building strong relationships, creating a welcoming environment and ensuring every visit is a positive experience.

Outside the office, Anita enjoys spending precious time with her three grandchildren, running, and biking—and has impressively completed three marathons (with her fourth currently in training!).

Anita lives by the quote, “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” – Maya Angelou.

She believes every act of kindness and every moment of care makes a difference

I began my dental career as a dental assistant in 2022, motivated by a passion for helping others achieve healthy, confident smiles. After graduating from the Northern Virginia Community College Dental Hygiene program Cum Laude, I’m now proud to be working as a licensed dental hygienist.

I’m dedicated to providing gentle, thorough, and personalized care for every patient. I work to create a calm, welcoming environment where everyone feels comfortable.

When I’m not in the office, I enjoy baking and trying new recipes, exploring local thrift shops looking for unique fashion finds, and staying active with walks or hikes. I also love traveling when I can and spending quality time with my cat, Sully. For me, a healthy smile isn’t just part of good health- it’s a reflection of confidence and joy.
