Why I chose to pursue a career in healthcare:

While studying biology in college, I contemplated many careers. One that really caught my attention was "dentist". While growing up, my family was fortunate enough to have a kind and caring dentist that I always admired. Her compassion and ability to help others while still being able to be hands-on helped make my decision. Changing the smiles of people to make them want to smile more is one of the most rewarding professions.

What I want my patients to know about me:

I love what I do. The most satisfying part of my job is to see children come into the practice as toddlers and continue to grow and mature into healthy young adults with great oral health.

What I do when I'm not seeing patients:

I have a wonderful husband and two children that I love spending time with. We recently added a French Bulldog to the family, and we all enjoy taking him for walks. I have a strong passion for physical fitness, running and cooking.
