Orthodontics is the perfect profession for me. It gives me the opportunity to build relationships with patients while bettering their smiles and ultimately, their lives. I love meeting all kinds of people. I realize that we all come from different places and experiences and have our own unique stories. I look forward to seeing each of my patients, especially as I get to know them better.

Continuing Education

Education has been an integral part of my life and I have an innate thirst for knowledge.

In the Community

Community service is something that is very important to me. Since high school I have always participated in community service activities such as tutoring children and illiterate adults. I went on dental mission trips abroad to Ecuador and Mexico to perform dental procedures in underserved areas.

Outside the Office

My husband and I love traveling and meeting people from all kinds of backgrounds and experiences.  We both enjoy living active and healthy lives.   Running, hiking, yoga, snowboarding, boogie boarding, swimming, and playing team sports are some of my favorite activities.  I also enjoy reading, watching movies, and spending time with family and friends.
