Why did you become a dentist?
I’ve always known I wanted to be in healthcare and help people, but I also loved art and anything hands on. Dentistry ended up being the perfect mix of both because it lets me care for people while also being creative every day.
What is your favorite part of being a dentist?
What I love most about being a dentist is building relationships with patients and seeing the positive impact a healthy smile can have on their lives.
How do you spend your free time?
Outside of the office, you can usually find me reading a good book, making pottery, or trying new recipes. I also enjoy traveling to new places and making lasting memories with my fiancé.
