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 Schuetze
Director of Education • Lead Instructor
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. Jasmine balances her work and life by enjoying family time with her daughter, Kalisi. Together, they enjoy all the local hiking trails and are avid campers.
Brittney Neblock
Instructor
Brittney has been in the dental field for the past 8 years. She has always had a passion for dentistry ever since she was little. She attended Clark College where she finished all her prerequisites for the Dental Hygiene Program. While waiting to get into the program, she attended Dental Assisting School to start her career in the dental field as soon as possible. Right after completing the program, she went to work as an orthodontic assistant. The doctor she worked with trusted her to train new employees and that’s where she fell in love with teaching. She balances her work and life with family time with her two children, Madison and Jordan.
