Cara Harrington (Registered Dental Hygienist)

I was born and raised in Southern California, and have had the opportunity to live in North Carolina and Colorado for several years from 2002-2008, before moving back to California. I attended California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks for undergraduate studies followed by Dental Hygiene school at Oxnard College. I have been practicing dental hygiene since 2000. I have always enjoyed healthcare and hands-on work with people, so a dental hygienist was the perfect choice as a profession for me.

I have two children, both boys, of whom I love to spend time playing sports, vacationing and playing with our two dogs, Duke and Java. I am active in my husband’s financial advisory business and have volunteer roles in the Ventura County Habitat for Humanity, my neighborhood HOA, and my children’s school PTA.
