When I am not at the office, you can find me spending time with my husband and toddler. I am an outdoor enthusiast and am always cheering for ASU and the Arizona Cardinals. I love trying new local restaurants, especially if there are chips and salsa!

My goal is to ensure a calm and safe environment where kids can be confident about visiting the dentist! As a parent, I understand the importance of engaging each child in their own special way. We will work together to achieve lifelong oral health and have fun along the way!
