Education
I went to UCLA for undergrad where I obtained a Bachelors of Science in Psychobiology. For Dental School I attended University of the Pacific in San Francisco where I received my DDS degree. I then went on to complete a General Practice Residency at Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center where I received extra training working with patients with special needs and mental and physical disabilities.
Why did you become a dentist?
Dentistry is the best of everything. It’s a passion for science, art and helping people. I get to interact with patients and develop a relationship… not just when they’re sick or in need of medical attention. I get to literally put a smile on my patients face. And no two faces are the same.
Interesting Facts
I was born and raised here in Mid city LA. My husband also an LA native is a retired NFL player so we live a very active lifestyle spending our time at the beach during the warmer months, taking our dog hiking and heading to the mountain for snowboarding during the cold season. We also enjoy watching our favorite teams play in our spare time. We bleed blue for the Dodgers. It’s Rams house all day but unfortunately the house is divided when it comes to the Lakers and Golden State Warriors. I recently became a mom of an energetic baby boy and so these days are mostly filled with quality time with the family creating memories for our little guy.
