My approach to care
My approach to patient care is comprehensive treatment planning from beginning to end. I want to create a safe space where patients feel comfortable, respected, and seen. With prevention, treatment, and education, I will work with patients to achieve a better state of health.
Why I went into healthcare
I became a dentist because I grew up in an underserved community and experienced the struggles of having limited access to care. I want to work towards reducing these health inequities and be an advocate for the most vulnerable populations.
Something you might not know about me
Outside of work, I enjoy trying new coffee shops, going to concerts, and hanging out with my two cats.
