Summary
Prior to focusing on Pediatric Dentistry, I practiced general dentistry for 8 years. Part of this time was as a Captain in the United States Air Force. One of my assignments was outside of Tokyo, Japan. I treated military active duty and their dependents. It was in Japan that I gained experience in pediatric dentistry and loved treating children in a dental setting. My passion grew with experience and witnessing a fearful child learn to feel comfortable and ultimately enjoy seeing the dentist. What better way to have an impact on an individual early in life. I can help patients overcome their fears at a young age. I love helping people in dentistry and life.
I reside in Edina, MN with my husband Chris, and our two boys. When I’m not practicing dentistry, I can be found walking my pup, Ginsburg, at a local dog park. During my downtime, I like to spend time with friends and family. My hobbies include learning about cultures and foods, reading, cooking, traveling, skiing, running and …riding my stationary bike.
