As a dentist, I am called to serve my patients, veterans, and underserved people with excellence and compassion. I love how God created everyone uniquely and I see each person through a different lens. We are living in a broken world, where people have faced and endured many challenges, which has led to them feeling less joy and struggling with their specific traumas. My purpose, I believe, is to bring the best out of my patients, giving each a glimpse of who they are and how beautifully they are created! Drawn to healthcare and specifically the oral health field, I started my career in 2006 as a dental assistant. That experience made it clear that dentistry was the ideal path for my interests and skills. Prior to starting practice, I graduated from Western University of Health Sciences as a Doctor of Medical Dentistry (DMD). Dental school gave me the key foundational knowledge I needed to practice. However, I wanted to further enhance my skills and understanding, so I then completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) residency through East Carolina University. I have now practiced seven years as a provider and truly love what I do. It is deeply rewarding to make a difference in the lives of people who are an extension of my family. Relieving pain, restoring health and function, offering education and encouragement, and making smiles even more beautiful, are all part of my day. At the same time, I treasure the opportunity to connect and speak with each person in my care. Hearing their stories, learning of their lives and families, and sharing in their journey is incredible. Each conversation broadens and enriches my world, giving me new insight and ways to see the world. During our time together, I am constantly finding new ways to show each the love of Christ. There is truly nothing as rewarding than seeing people smile with joy when treatment is completed. I love to bring joy, compassionate care, and happiness to my community!
