Education
I received my bachelors degree from Utah State University in Business administration. From there I moved to Virginia to complete dental school and earn my DDS degree and continued in a 1 year advanced general dentistry certificate program. I completed my orthodontic residency at Indiana University and earned my Masters in Dentistry in Orthodontics.
Why did you become a orthodontist?
I have wanted to be an orthodontist since I was 12 years old and had my own braces. Like many kids, I dreamed of being an astronaut, or a “scientist” and at one point even wanted to be a professional bird feeder :D. Going to the orthodontist was the first time something realistically stood out to me as something to do when I grew up. Attending dental school I fell in love with dentistry and understood there were so many different options available to me. Through my experience and research I still determined that I wanted to pursue a career in orthodontics. I love challenge of working through how best to deliver the best smile for each individual and I love working with the wide range of patients from childhood to adolescence to adulthood!
