I’ve been a dental hygienist since 2015, but my real passion comes from my own experience growing up in a family where oral health was often overlooked. Those experiences inspired me to dedicate my career to helping others achieve healthier and happier smiles. Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband and kids, creating lasting memories, and embracing a simpler and balanced life. I'm also passionate about fitness - weightlifting and bouldering have become important parts of my routine. These activities challenge me physically and mentally, helping me stay strong and focused on personal growth. I believe that taking care of myself allows me to show up as the best version of myself, both for my patients and my family.
