Maya
Business Administrator
I was born and raised in Jakarta, Indonesia. While in the U.S. to study Industrial Engineering at ASU, I met my husband, Dr. Putrasahan while he was doing his undergraduate study in Engineering. We lived in Southern California for a couple of years while he finished his dental school. After that we moved back to Arizona and called it home. I’ve been working as an engineer until we opened Logos Dentistry in November 2011. I enjoy learning about dentistry and most of all I love getting to know and working with our wonderful patients!
I am a mother of two adult children. I love music, reading, watching Netflix, hiking (South Mountain and Sedona are my favorites), traveling to other parts of the world and just hanging out with friends and family.

Not utilizing my first degree, I had various job titles including: Jeep tour driver in Sedona, waitress, veterinary technician, and ski instructor in Flagstaff. Years later I went back to college, and in 2002, I graduated with my second degree from NAU: a BS in Dental Hygiene.

When I was a child, my Dentist and his staff gave me a positive and wonderful experience on my dental visits. I knew that I would like to pay this forward, so I earned my Associates in Science degree in Dental Assisting. Currently, have over 35 years experience working in the dental field, both as a chair side assistant and front office staff.
My husband, Dave and I moved from San Diego to Gilbert in 2003. I enjoy the beautiful sunrises and sunsets that we have here in Arizona. We have four grown sons and four grandsons.
Reading, scrapbooking and hiking are things I truly love. Last year, I accomplished a two day hike into and back up out of the Grand Canyon. Someday I would like to visit all of the National parks.
I am thankful to be a member of a friendly and caring honest staff here at Logos Dentistry.

I met my husband Scott almost 30 years ago when we were counselors at a camp in PA and have been married for 25 years. He is a pastor and I am so thankful to be a partner in ministry with him.
I met Dr. Kris and his wife Maya when their daughter and our oldest son were in the same kindergarten class! It was fun to do life together as we watch our kids grow up. I love to be outside exploring and hiking; thank goodness for Arizona getaways like Flagstaff, Payson and the White Mountains! Working with this staff has been such a pleasure and I look forward to helping all those who walk through the doors of Logos Dentistry to feel welcome and valued.
