about me
Born and raised in the San Fernando Valley, I'm grateful to be back home serving my community through quality dental care. I'm half Egyptian, half Ecuadorean, and fluent in Spanish. Outside of work, I enjoy time with family, hiking, California beaches, and playing with my teacup Yorkie, Maluma.
