As a native Michigander, I was always intrigued by the Pacific Northwest. Upon completion of my residency in California, friends convinced me to move to the Pacific Northwest, and I am thrilled I did! I had negative dental experiences as a child, but had a great experience with my orthodontist. In the eighth grade, I decided I would be a dentist. While in dental school, I chose to specialize in pediatric dentistry to help create a positive experience for children.
About My Practice
As a pediatric dentist, I strive for positive dental experiences to support future oral health. Prevention of oral disease is my primary objective through establishing a dental home, good oral hygiene habits, and fluoride use.
How I thrive
The Pacific Northwest indulges my love of being outdoors, and I can frequently be found hiking, camping, skiing, or playing tennis. I participate in CrossFit, which is a wonderful and inspiring community. During my downtime and on extra-rainy days, I enjoy reading and snuggling with my two cats.
