About Your Dentist

"Take care of your teeth and your teeth will take care of you.”

My Mission

“I received my DDS from Indiana University School of Dentistry and was on the dean's list before graduating. After practicing for a number of years in Cleveland, Ohio, my husband and I decided to move to Texas in 2021 to be closer to family and friends. We couldn't be happier to call Texas home. I love interacting with my patients and making their dental experience as great as possible. My focus is on lifelong learning and mastering the latest advancements in dentistry so I can offer the best and latest services to my patients.”
