Hi, I’m Naghmeh, but my friends call me Nagi!
I was born in Iran and studied computer science before moving to Canada in 2019. After arriving in Canada, I began working in customer service and reception, where I discovered how much I enjoy connecting with people and helping others.
I’m happy to be part of the friendly and supportive team at Maxome Finch Dental Care and enjoy helping our patients feel comfortable and welcome during their visits.
Outside of work, I’m a dog lover and enjoy working out, spending time with friends, and shopping. I’m always looking for opportunities to learn, grow, and gain new experiences.

Giselle Fostanes
Dental assistant
Hello! My name is Giselle. I was born in the Philippines and moved to Canada when I was 8 years old. I graduated from the Level I & II Dental Assisting program in 2024.
Dentistry wasn’t my original career plan — it wasn’t until a friend introduced me to the field during the final month of college applications that I decided to give it a try. I’m so glad I did, because I have absolutely no regrets!
Outside of work, I love thrifting and "thrift-flipping" — transforming second-hand finds with my sewing machine is one of my favorite creative outlets.
I feel truly fortunate to be part of the Maxome Finch Dental Care team. It’s a blessing to work in an environment filled with love, support, and respect.
Dana Suarez
Dental Assistant
Hi, I'm Dana Suarez. I was born in the Philippines and moved to Canada when I was 15. I dreamed of becoming a flight attendant and even studied Flight Services at Seneca College. But life had other plans, and along the way, I discovered a strong interest in healthcare, especially in the dental field.
I followed that passion and completed my Dental Assistant Level I and II certification, graduating in January 2025. Outside of work, I enjoy going to concerts whenever I can—it's one of my favorite ways to unwind and feel inspired. I'm also a big dog person! I have a cockapoo named Sevi, who brings so much joy and energy into my life. I truly enjoy being part of the team at Maxome Finch Dental Care, where we value teamwork, patient comfort, and providing a positive dental experience.
