Director of Dental Programs
Dr. Ethel is one of the most well-regarded dentists in the greater Chicago area. For Smile Sports, she leads the oral health education aspect of our youth sports camps. Dentistry is her way of giving back to the community, changing lives one smile at a time. She lives by the Charlie Chaplin quote: “You’ll find that life is still worthwhile if you just smile.” Her warmth, compassion, and commitment align perfectly with the Smile Sports mission.
During her CDI residency, she earned the leadership role of Chief Dental Resident, where she trained and mentored junior colleagues across a variety of patient treatments. She also performed a wide array of full-mouth rehabilitations and advanced oral surgeries catering to underserved communities in Cleveland. Dr. Ethel holds a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree from Centro Escolar University in Manila, Philippines.
