Why do you enjoy the dental profession?

I’ve wanted to be a doctor since I was three years old, caring for people has always been my calling. Dentistry excites me because it blends science,wellness, and creativity. I love being able to restore not just smiles but confidence, and I’m passionate about helping patients understand how oralhealth connects to their overall health.

What is your favorite part about interacting with patients?‍

I love getting to know my patients beyond their smiles. Whether it's helping someone overcome dental anxiety or finding the perfect Invisalign plan fortheir goals, I truly enjoy building trust and making people feel comfortable, heard, and cared for.

What do you do outside of the office for fun oras a hobby?

‍Outside the office, I love to cook (especially Italian food), travel, and explore new restaurants with my husband, we even have an Instagram page where we rate margaritas! I also enjoy reading (especially anything by Taylor Jenkins Reid), going on hikes, and learning German. If you have any favorite hikingtrails or food spots, I’d love your recommendations!
