About Me

I became interested in dentistry through overseas medical/dental mission work while I was an undergraduate student. While I enjoy numerous different aspects of dentistry, I especially like working with kids and learning about minimally invasive dental options.

Partnership Community Health Center has been a perfect fit for me as it allows me to work with many kids/families who otherwise might not have access to dental care.

In my time away from the office, I am a busy “boy mom” learning about Nerf guns, Legos, and slime making. I also enjoy travel, movies, and trying new restaurants with family and friends.

My goal as a dentist is to create a warm, welcoming environment to keep my patients comfortable and to show them that visiting the dentist doesn’t have to be an unpleasant experience.

About Me

I always enjoyed learning about science while growing up in rural Southwest Michigan, but wasn’t sure what to do with that passion until I settled initially on becoming a veterinarian. After a year of looking at horses’ mouths, however, I was so fascinated by what you can learn from teeth that I knew I needed to become a dentist.

Having been raised in an underserved area, I knew that I wanted to pursue a career in public health. Partnership Community Health Center is a perfect fit for me and I am excited to give back to this community.

When I’m not talking about teeth, I enjoy reading, photography, and skiing. Living in the south for school for 8 years has put a pause on my skiing, and I’m eager to get back to those cold, winter days.
