I chose dentistry because I always had great experiences going to the dentist; something I later realized was not the norm for most people. While many views dental visits with anxiety, I experienced them as moments of comfort, care, and trust, which inspire me to provide that same positive experience for others. Dentistry gives me the unique opportunity to combine my love for science and precision with my desire to serve people in a meaningful way. I’m passionate about transforming what can often be a stressful experience into one that is empowering and supportive. Whether I’m relieving pain, restoring a smile, or simply making someone feel heard, I strive to deliver care that is both clinically excellent and emotionally thoughtful. My goal is to create a space where patients feel respected, safe, and confident in their oral health —ultimately helping to redefine what a dental visit can be.
Outside of dentistry, I love spending time with my Mini Goldendoodle, Honey—especially taking her on long walks. I enjoy staying active by playing tennis and pickleball, and I always look forward to heading up north to soak in the beauty of Minnesota summers. I also enjoy traveling and experiencing new places, as well as attending sporting events whenever I get the chance.
