Renee was raised --and continues to -- reside in Torrance, being an integral part of the community we serve.  Renee began working with Dr. Steve while attending college, also working with Dr. Michelle (while she was also in school) managing the front office and assisting chairside on Saturdays.  Renee attended the University of Southern California graduating in 2008 with a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene.  When not serving patients, Renee enjoys spending time at the beach, traveling to new places and Crossfit.  What she cherishes most is the time she spends with her family and watching her niece and nephews as they grow up.
