General and Cosmetic Dentist, Provider of Invisalign®, TMJ and Trigger Point Therapy Certified
I grew up in Anna, Ohio and currently reside in Columbus, Ohio with my two cats – Lulu and Tangie. I like to say that I did not choose dentistry – but dentistry chose me. After losing my two front teeth at the age of three due an unfortunate swing set accident, my strongest memory from the incident was how happy I was that my dentist was able to help me and make me feel better.
Education and Continuing Education
- Bachelor of Science in Biology – The Ohio State University
- Doctorate of Dental Medicine – The University of New England College of Dental Medicine
- Invisalign Certified
- Trigger Point Therapy Certified through the AAFE
My fondness towards the practice of dentistry has only continued to grow throughout my life. I feel so lucky to have found a career where I can combine my love for developing trusting relationships with people, my artistic side, and my appreciation for medicine and science. One of the most fulfilling parts of dentistry for me is helping patients who enter the office feeling anxious or overwhelmed become patients who begin to look forward to their dental appointments as they develop of sense of trust and comfort with their provider!
Outside the Office
I deeply enjoy spending time with my family, friends and pride myself in being the “cool auntie” to my nephews and nieces – who mean the world to me! I spend a lot of my free time going on nature walks, cooking, reading books, listening to records, going to farmer’s markets, doing puzzles, and learning the art of crochet. When life allows, I enjoy traveling with friends to visit new places!
Why Grove City Family Dentistry?
Grove City Family Dentistry has felt like home to me from my very first visit to the office. I am greatly looking forward to working with such an amazing group of experienced providers and team members. The environment of the office is upbeat, fun, supportive, and I admire the way GCFD cares for their patients. I am looking forward to developing my own relationships with our patients in the upcoming years, and being a part of an office that cares so greatly for the community that has supported it for the last 60+ years!
