Dentist
about me
Born and raised in NorCal, I moved to SoCal to pursue dentistry and quickly fell in love with the weather and community. When I'm not living the dream of being your dentist, you can find me hiking, taking a dance class, trying new foods, at a music festival or spending time with friends and family.

Favorites
I love to start my mornings with a matcha latte and a wellness podcast. My music playlist is currently a mix of Rosalía, BTS and John Summit. I'm always planning my next getaway; recent favorites include Maui and Grand Teton National Park.
