I’m a general dentist who loves combining clinical care with meaningful patient connection. I chose dentistry because it allows me to help people in a way that improves not only their health, but also their comfort and confidence. I enjoy building trust through honest communication, treating each patient like an individual, and making the dental experience as positive as possible. Outside of the operatory, I’m someone who values creativity, lifelong learning, and bringing enthusiasm into everything I do. I grew up in Nixa, Missouri, and after high school, moved to Kansas City, where I spent eight years completing my education and growing both personally and professionally. After graduating dental school, I moved to St. Louis to complete a general practice residency at Mercy Hospital. When I’m not practicing dentistry, you can usually find me skiing in the winter, spending time at the lake in the summer, or enjoying quality time with my family and friends. I’m also a proud Chiefs fan!!

General dentist with hospital-based residency training and a strong foundation in the sciences, clinical dentistry, and compassionate patient care. I completed my undergraduate degree in biochemistry at Rockhurst University, followed by earning my Doctor of Dental Surgery at the University of Missouri–Kansas City School of Dentistry. After advancing my skills through a General Practice Residency, I am now seeking to apply my comprehensive clinical training in a private practice setting.
