Our School Faculty
Dr. Herma Ranola
Director of Student Success • Dentist
Dr. Ranola started Vancouver Dental Assisting School to share her knowledge and expertise with students who want to pursue a career in dentistry. Before becoming a dentist, Dr. Ranola began her journey as a registered dental assistant. Because of that, she understands just how important it is to have high-quality dental assistants.
Dr. Ranola is knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about continued education, both personally and professionally. She particularly enjoys mentoring students who do not thrive in a traditional school setting or struggle with confidence. She looks forward to meeting every new student and helping them achieve a fulfilling dental career as she has.

Jasmine has been a practicing dental assistant for over 15 years. She has assisted with many types of procedures, including oral surgery, crowns, root canals, and orthodontics. When she is not leading our students into their future careers, she is the Team Leader at Ranieu Family Dental. She has held a current RDA for Washington state as well as RHS and Oregon radiology certificate and is currently working toward getting her EFDA.

Dr. Irwin
Vancouver Orthodontic Specialists, Vancouver, WA
I have been working with Isaiah for about 10 months. He is a dedicated employee at Vancouver Emergency Tooth Doctor. Isaiah is the first assistant to show up to work eager to help and is the last assistant to leave the office. He is extremely dedicated and therefore has been given two raises since he started. I am grateful for all the hard work that Isaiah has been doing at ETD. Thank you VDAS for training Isaiah.
