Baseline
I decided to pursue a career in dentistry because I found it to be the perfect intersection of creativity, science, and connecting with people. Working at Mountain Park has been incredible because I found an area of dentistry where I can make meaningful differences my patients’ lives and build connections within our community. I’m passionate about creating happy, health smiles through my work, and the education I provide to my patients. You can expect to feel comfortable, respected, and supported during our visit, and your care to be high-quality and thorough.
I was born here in Phoenix, Arizona and graduated with a dual degree in Biochemistry and Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences at the University of Arizona. I took two gap years before dental school where I worked as a research assistant specializing in lingual frenectomies, made my debut as a Starbucks barista, and spent time living in Ecuador. I went on to complete my Doctorate of Dental Medicine (DMD) at Midwestern University College of Dental Medicine in Glendale, AZ.
When I’m not working, I’m an avid outdoor enthusiast who enjoys paddleboarding on the Salt River, camping in the woods, and rock hounding for minerals and gemstones. If I’m not outside you can find me watching movies with my cat, at the pottery wheel throwing lop-sided bowls, in salsa dancing classes, a CrossFit gym, or dancing the night away with my friends at music festivals/concerts.
