Have you learned anything from the past 6 months of “life during quarantine” you’d like to share?

It’s been a strange year for all of us! 2020 enabled me to step back and live more fully in the present moment and also encouraged me to get outside more and enjoy nature with my family.

What would you like patients you care for to know about you?

I truly enjoy getting to know my patients. I want you to feel comfortable at your appointment, and leave feeling sparkly clean and fully understanding your treatment recommendations.

What do you love about working with the AD team?

I love my coworkers. We all work hard and truly care about our patients.

What’s the most inspiring part of your job?

I enjoy giving my patients oral hygiene tips and seeing results at their next visits.

The best piece of advice I’ve ever been given is
