I am passionate about orthodontics and committed to helping my patients achieve healthy, beautiful smiles that create more positivity and happiness in the community. I enjoy being part of the process that results in more confidence and self-esteem for my patients. Every one of them has a unique personality, and the opportunity to get to know them individually is truly a gift.

Fun Facts:
-I'm a part-time adventurer that stomps in puddles, explores the woods, jumps in the lake, and builds an impressive snow fort.

There’s plenty to love about my job. For starters, every day is a chance to improve someone else’s. Each mouth is like a puzzle, and by working to solve it I get to watch patients’ smiles grow proportionately with their confidence. There’s a real sense of belonging here—between patients, doctors and assistants. It’s extremely gratifying work, and something I cherish at every turn.
