Meet Our Team
Brenna Chavarin
Welcome to our page! My name is Brenna Chavarin, and I am the President of Konnect Dental Kare. I graduated from Oregon Tech in 2013 with a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene. I worked as a clinical and outreach hygienist until 2017, when I opened Konnect Dental Kare to reduce barriers to care for my community. I have since obtained my Master's in Allied Health in 2022, and I am working toward a Doctorate in Health Administration.
I consider it a great privilege and honor to give back to my community by providing dental hygiene services to those with limited access to care right where they are. I am immensely grateful for our team of like-minded individuals, without whom Konnect Dental Kare would not be possible. I am from Damascus, Oregon, but I have lived in Klamath Falls since 2008. I enjoy spending time with my family and traveling, and I am a dog mother of two perfect dachshunds.
Brooke Keffer
Hello, my name is Brooke; I am an Expanded Practice Dental Hygienist. I graduated from OIT in 2021, and I started with Konnect Dental Kare that fall. I work as our school-based Lead Hygienist. I love working with the kids and helping them learn about their oral health. Every day is something new, and I am excited to come to work and see their smiling faces! My husband and I both were raised in Klamath and graduated from Henley. Outside of work, we like to spend time with our pets; we have two horses, four dogs, and two cats. I am always looking for a way to go to Disney, my favorite place!
Guadalupe Ortiz-Tello
My name is Lupe, and I am the lead dental assistant. I have been a part of this great company for 4 years. I started this job when I was 18 and fell in love with our mission. Providing dental treatment for my community in schools and through community-based programs is rewarding. My duties as a dental assistant include ensuring our patients' comfort and providing the highest quality of care alongside our Hygienist. I'm from Bonanza, OR, and I love spending quality time with my family and friends.
