I love working with children from all walks of life, and this passion grew through my experiences with mentoring inner-city students and working with the special needs population at my local regional center. For fun, I enjoy arts and crafts, reading good books, and exploring new places and foods.
My favorite books are A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and the Harry Potter series. My favorite musical is Les Miserables. My favorite movie is Life Is Beautiful.
I understand the importance of fostering an environment of compassion, trust, and fun during dental visits. I am committed to creating enjoyable and empowering experiences at the dentist to help children grow up with happy and healthy smiles.
