I’m originally from San Diego, CA, but relocated to Kentucky to be closer to my family. I obtained my undergraduate degree in Dental Hygiene at Western Kentucky University, which confirmed my desire to further my education in dentistry by pursuing dental school. I received my D.M.D. at the University of Louisville in 2021, and currently have been practicing dentistry for 2+ years. I’m looking forward to continuing to grow my skills in general dentistry, while also focusing on my specific passion, cosmetic dentistry. The most rewarding aspect of dentistry for me is interacting with my patients and developing lasting relationships. My priority is to treat my patients not only as equals, but how I’d want someone to treat my loved ones. That is why the idea of a “dental spa”, with not only dentistry being the focus, but also the overall patient experience of comfort and luxury, has always resonated with me. The ideal practice for me would place an emphasis on overall patient experience, foster a team-based environment, and provide quality dental care with an “elevated” approach.
