about me

After graduating from dental school, I completed my residency at a level-1 trauma hospital. During this time, I met my husband, who is an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. We owned a practice for 13 years in Redding, California, where we raised our three children. We love our new community in EDH!

As a dentist since 2007, I have the experience and expertise to provide quality clinical care in a calm setting. My gentle approach and painless anesthetic technique are often complimented by my patients.
