About Me

I joined this wonderful group of providers at the Kaiser Permanente Tigard Dental Office in 2007 after spending a year working with geriatric patients in a nonprofit dental program in Southeast Portland. Prior to graduating from OHSU with a dental medicine degree, I used my Master of Social Work degree to work with kidney dialysis patients, liver transplant patients, and veterans at the Portland VA Health Care System.

About My Practice

As a general dentist, I provide a wide range of services for my patients, from preventive care to esthetic dental work. I love taking care of the entire family. What brings me the most joy is making a positive contribution to the healthy growth of children and helping adult patients of all ages live full, healthy lives.

How I Thrive

I am a perpetual student and love to learn. After finishing dental school, I completed a two-year clinical ethics fellowship program at the OHSU Center for Ethics and now teach ethics to dental students at OHSU. I keep myself busy chasing after my son and being with my husband, family, and friends. I also attained an intermediate certificate from the Wine & Spirit Education Trust to deepen my love of and appreciation for all the wines of the world.
