I knew from a young age that I wanted to be a dentist, and I cannot imagine my life in any other field. I am passionate about helping my patients improve their oral health and achieve beautiful smiles. I not only love the physical aspect of my job but I also love that it allows me to build personal relationships with my patients as we tackle dental health objectives together.

I graduated with a bachelor degree in Biology from Loyola University in Chicago. Then I attended Creighton University College of Dentistry and graduated in the top five of the class, winning many awards. As the last step in my education I completed a general dentistry residency at UNM where I achieved proficiency in numerous specialties in the field, including treatment of patients with severe developmental disabilities or complex medical issues.

I strongly believe in lifelong learning and challenging myself to master new skills and the most effective treatment options available. I am a fellow and a member of the International Dental Implant Association as well as an active member of the Academy of General Dentistry. I am also in the process of finishing my fellowship with the Academy of General Dentistry.

I moved to New Mexico with my husband Luke, a pharmacist. We loved the weather and lifestyle in New Mexico and quickly knew it was where we wanted to establish long-term roots. We are so happy to be raising our daughter Maya and our son John here. Along with our boxer Maximus, our little ones keep us constantly entertained and busy!
