Additional Information
I was fortunate enough to grow up in a dental family—my father is a dentist and my mother was the office administrator—in a practice that spanned almost eighty years from when it was first founded. I watched my father take care of generations of families while building lifelong relationships, all while providing exceptional, thoughtful care.Although life did not allow me to take over that practice, I know the spirit is the same for what I do want to achieve in my own career—meaningful relationships with my patients, team, and community. My career will have been a successful one if I did my best for my patients and for my staff. For me, this comes in the form of quality over quantity of dentistry, commitment to continuing education, and prioritizing the patient as an individual over the patient as a code.
I was raised in Lexington, Kentucky, and then completed most of my schooling in the Southeast. Once a winter, however, my family went on a trip to a small ski area in Michigan—it was enough to give me a lifelong yearning for mountains. Even while living on the East Coast, I would ski, hike, camp, bike, and explore. After spending far too much time on west-bound airplanes to do these things, I finally made the move west. Being able to work and play in the same place, with the same community, is such a privilege. I am looking forward to owning a practice where I can simultaneously live my passion for dentistry with my passion for the outdoors.In addition, I have a Boston Terrier named Georgie (girl) and love Alabama football. I am secretary of my local Rotary chapter and sit on the board for the Give Back a Smile foundation, a charity that pairs volunteer dentists with survivors of domestic and sexual abuse to restore their smiles.
