I developed an interest in dentistry at the young age of five. Identifying a fascination for teeth and passion for helping others helped me set out on a journey to become a dentist. After receiving degrees in Biology and Chemistry from the University of Colorado, I moved to Wisconsin to attend Marquette University School of Dentistry and received my Doctor of Dental Surgery. One of the most rewarding aspects of being a dentist is the relationship I build with each patient. My strong desire to listen to each patient and earn and keep their trust is a top priority. I take the time to explain treatment options and procedures, answer all questions, and alleviate concern. Patient comfort and patient satisfaction are important aspects of my daily practice of dentistry while providing patients with the highest level of clinical excellence. I frequently attend continuing education courses and dental meetings at the state and local level in order to stay current with the ever changing dental techniques and topics. This allows me to continually focus on providing the most current treatment options and techniques when seeing patients for routine comprehensive care and cosmetic dentistry. Aside from dentistry, I enjoy spending time with my husband, family, and friends. Hiking, biking, skiing, attending summer festivals, Marquette Basketball games, and trying new restaurants are some of my favorite things!
