I most enjoy the variety of personalities that come through the dental office. Everyone has a different perspective on life I can learn from, and my favorite part of the day is making a connection with a new smiling face. Its through connecting with my patients that I am able make the process of restoring dental health a more comfortable one. Being dedicated to continuing education has allowed me to learn the latest techniques and advancements in order to provide more complete dental care for you and your family. On top of this, my goal is to make our dental office a place where our patients feel welcomed, listened to, and respected. I received my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Missouri - Kansas City. For my undergraduate degree in biology, I attended Newman University in my hometown of Wichita, Kansas. After practicing there, I made the move to my adopted home of Chicago and currently reside in Hoffman Estates. My interests include relaxing with family and friends, bike riding, vegan cooking, and yoga.
