Bachelor Degree- Wichita State University Doctorate of Dental Surgery - Indiana University MSD Certificate in Orthodontics - University of Colorado

My family and I have been helping kids, teens, and adults have beautiful smiles for four generations. That's right! My great grandfather, grandfather, and dad were in the practice of providing healthy smiles as dentists. I grew up learning all things about teeth and followed in their footsteps as an orthodontist.

I enjoy all things boarding - wakeboarding, snowboarding, and surfing. I have two dogs, Stu and Pepper, who are usually the topic of my conversations.

I have always desired to have a career in healthcare. I am naturally a compassionate person who has an affinity for careers that allow me the opportunity to serve, heal, and make a difference in the lives of others. A career in dentistry allows me to accomplish all three. When an individual has poor oral health it not only affects their dentition, but also can potentially affect systemic health and self-esteem. Therefore, treating oral disease allows me to treat the entire person. That is extremely satisfying.

I am a Colorado native - one of the few left. I spent most of my childhood living in Southeast Aurora, after high school my family relocated to Denver. I am the proud mother of a 19-year old son. When i'm not working I enjoy spending time with my family, singing in the choir, and watching movies. I also love nature and hiking, so I try to escape to the mountains whenever I have time.

• Class Valedictorian

My passion for dentistry grew as a teenager when I visited my dentist and was attracted to the way dentistry was performed. During my high school years I noticed there was a significant lack of education in my community for preventive dental health and I desired to help my community. My artistic skills and passion for medical science lead me to pursue an education in dentistry.

My time is dedicated to my family and being a mom. I enjoy spending quality time with my husband and daughter through hiking, traveling, exploring new places, and cooking Indian food. I love exploring creative ways to fulfill my passion for art through painting mixed media on canvas. My childhood years in India impacted greatly my love for spirituality and now I practice various types of yoga & meditation.

Bachelor or Science in Biology - University of Illinois at Chicago

Doctor of Dental Surgery - Illinois College of Optometry

When I first enrolled into undergrad, I originally majored in computer engineering. I quickly realized how antisocial the world of engineering can be. I gravitated towards optometry because of how intriguing the eye itself was to me. I stayed in optometry because of my passion for treating ocular pathologies and helping people with their vision as well as being able to develop strong relationships with patients and the people around me.

I grew up in Chicago playing basketball and was the biggest fan of the Chicago Bulls during Michael Jordan's time with them. I am an animal lover and currently have just one dog (the sweetest cattle dog). I love spending time outdoors and exploring with my fiancé.
