Helping people has always been my passion, When I was young, I used to volunteer at local nursing homes. The experience of helping the elderly and caring for them, fostered a sense of happiness which would carry through my entire life. When I graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Nursing from Michigan State University, I worked in a fast-paced Emergency Room. For five years, I was part of a team that saved many lives. Although this was a rewarding career choice, I found my true calling was still to come, and explored many medical professions before I chose dentistry. I attended Indiana University, graduating with a DDS degree. Dentistry is the only field in which I can combine my altruistic nature with my artistic and mechanical skills. Using cutting edge technology, I help people of all ages achieve and maintain a healthy smile. I get a true sense of pride knowing my work helps you eat, smile, and live a more beautiful life. I consider myself lucky. Very few people get to love their jobs, and even less get to have a job they are passionate about. My passion comes through in the quality of my work, and the close relationships I foster with my patients.
