Why did you become a Dentist?

I always wanted to help people and dentistry allows me to do so in a way that combines my interests in science and art.

What attracted you to a community health center for your practice?

I appreciate the patient-centered approach to healthcare, treating the whole person and not just a part.

Do you have hobbies or a way you like to spend your time away from work?

I enjoy reading and crafting in my free time.

Do you have a favorite book, movie, or TV show?

Cheesy Hallmark movies are my guilty pleasure.
