Why did you become a dentist?
Growing up, I was very self conscious about my smile. Other kids would bully me, and my teeth would be one of the many topics they would make fun of me for. I remember being really shy and avoiding people at all costs. It wasn’t until after my dentist and orthodontist helped me feel good about my smile, that I felt good about myself. I never knew how something as small as teeth could change the way you feel about yourself. I got such a confidence boost from being able to smile without shame. And slowly, I grew into my skin, and I feel good about myself. If I can help one child feel better, eat better, or sleep better, I feel like a superhero.
Interesting Facts
I have two children of my own. They inspire me to be the kind of doctor I would want to take my kids to. In my free time I love to spend time with my kids. I like to teach them how to cook or take them on mini adventures. The whole world is ready for exploration, why not take it all in. And if I ever have free time for myself, I like to craft & sew.
