Meet the Kingston Dental Team
Sara, Office Manager
Sara , the wife of Kingston Dental’s fearless leader, joins the team after having one foot in the practice since Dr. Couch took over for Dr. Zygar. She is currently managing the team, taking care of business, and handling insurance on accounts for Kingston Dental’s patients. If you have any financial or insurance related questions - talk with Sara.
Even though she is a Washington native, Sara never expected to return “home” when she moved to Oregon at 17. Sara graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Anthropology from Lewis and Clark College and then obtained her JD from Willamette University College of Law (the oldest university in the west!). She is a licensed attorney and practiced in Oregon for seven years, before moving back to Washington to be closer to family and friends, while raising the Couch kids (Reese and Mercer). When Kingston Dental’s longtime office manager, Jessica, retired, Sara resumed her role.
Sara loves to see live music with Dr. Couch, give her kids a hard time, and laugh. If you have not met her yet - introduce yourself. She is quick to smile and wants all Kingston Dental patients to feel at home. Sara is happy to be a part of the practice and looks forward to getting to know every patient.
Brianna, Patient Coordinator
Brianna has been a member of the team at KD for eight years now. She was an assistant for Dr. Couch for five years and has moved into the Patient Coordinator roll. Brianna enjoys getting to know each of her patients and providing them with best possible care.
Brianna lives in Poulsbo with her son Steven. She is an avid horseback rider, enjoys spending time with her friends, and having fun. Her son is nine and loves spending time at the barn and playing lacrosse.
Brianna says “KD is such a fun and loving environment to be in. All of our patients are treated with the best care we can provide.”
Kayla, Hygienist
After graduating from Northern Arizona University in 2012, Kayla spent several years serving the Navajo nation before returning home to Kingston. She’s passionate about dental hygiene and helping others, and is excited about having the opportunity to give back to her childhood community.
In her spare time, she enjoys spending time in the Olympics with her husband, Erik, their daughter and their 2 fur babies, McKinley and Dungee. From rock climbing and backpacking to fishing and kayaking, they can usually be found on some adventure over the weekends.
Ashley, Hygienist
Ashley joined the Kingston Dental team in the fall of 2012 after graduating with her Bachelor’s Degree in Dental Hygiene from Eastern Washington University, where she spent some time brightening peoples’ smiles. She enjoys serving the Kingston community, and likes to build lasting relationships with her patients.
Ashley grew up in Port Orchard and enjoys many of the activities this beautiful state has to offer. In her spare time, she likes kayaking, golfing, and is a big football fan. She loves laughing and getting to know her patients. Ashley is married to Brian and they have two fur babies, Murphy and Molly.
She believes “dentistry should be fun as well as professional and I always strive to keep it that way.”
Jovonne, Assistant
Jovonne is our newest member of the KD team! She has three years of dental assisting experience from her time across the water in Edmonds. Her interest in dentistry started in her early years as a child, she absolutely loved going to her dental office. The staff there made it such a great environment and she strives to deliver the same experience to her patients here.
Jovonne is originally from the Snoqualmie Valley and just recently bought her first home here a few months ago, in Bremerton. She is enjoying the quieter lifestyle and being close to the water on this side!
In her free time you can catch her hanging out with her 5 year old Boxer dog, Binx and making weekend memories with her friends and family.
Megan, Assistant
Megan joined the Kingston Dental team in 2021. She was previously a dental assistant for the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe but wanted to broaden her knowledge and horizons and join us.
She was born and raised here in Kingston and understands the value and love within a small community. She enjoys helping people so what’s better than starting with a smile? Mainly because a lot of people’s confidence and overall health involves your teeth and mouth!
Outside of work, Megan enjoys playing softball and is joining a coed team in Bremerton. She also enjoys cooking and picking new recipes to try! Megan is best friends with her sister, and absolutely adores her niece. She has one fur baby, a cat named Fern!
She says “a hardworking team that enjoys the work that they do, and is able to rely on one another is important. You’ll see and experience that here at KD, while we also incorporate jokes while building rapport with all of our patients.”
