I am an exceptionally hard worker, thanks to years of retail work prior to dental school as well as my GPR residency with a rigorous on-call schedule. I place high value on time and therefore reflect that with my desire not to fall behind on my schedule. I firmly believe in being the first person to arrive and the last person to leave when you are the dentist in the office.

Going to the dentist isn't a fun experience, so I make it a personal goal to add a bit of humor and laughter into every appointment. It is important to me that my patients see dentists and the office as more than a torture asylum but a place with compassionate people who are willing to help them. Because of this, I feel that it is vital to have a strong sense of unity and teamwork in the office, amongst all team members, and I make an effort to ensure their skills are highlighted and valued. Since graduation, I have spent my time working at my GPR residency where I learned to manage a myriad of dental emergencies while also learning how to take care of the most sick members of our community. I am eager to use the personal and professional skills I have learned out in private practice!
