Why I chose to pursue a career in healthcare:

When I was growing up my favorite subjects were science and art which led me to specialize in prosthodontics. My interest in sleep medicine developed later during active duty service with the US Navy. I truly enjoy what I do; working with patients is meaningful and enriching and I learn something new every day.

What I want my patients to know about me:

I serve on the Board of Directors for the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine and enjoy teaching residents and dentists interested in dental sleep medicine. I love continuing education and talking about recent developments in our field.
If I ever go missing, check the local libraries!

What I do when I'm not seeing patients:

My family likes kayaking, tennis, photography and travel. Our favorite trip was a horseback riding/photography trip in Ireland.
Everyone in our family is a volunteer with the North Museum of Nature and Science. We believe in the importance of the STEM program and want to encourage young women to consider a career in STEM.
