Dentistry is a wonderful field with many rewarding aspects. As dentists, we get to spend a lifetime learning and growing in multiple areas such as biology, chemistry, art, and most importantly, helping people improve their quality of life. Growing up with my own dental challenges, I developed a strong interest in analyzing and understanding what could have been done to improve someone’s smile. My early career in dental hygiene has shaped the way I approach patient care, particularly in helping my patient understand their oral health and feel more comfortable and confident in my care. In my opinion, having a healthy mouth and beautiful teeth outweigh putting on makeup or changing your outfit! It is the foundation of confidence and overall well-being.
Outside of practicing dentistry, I enjoy spending time with my spouse and our four-legged children. We enjoy doing many things together, from walking leisurely in the park to trying out new restaurants that I find on social media or simply having relaxing self-care sessions at home. Feel free to ask me about my pets, I am constantly running out of the storage from taking way too many photos of them!
