Growing up, I was always trying to create masterpieces using art and craft supplies. In high school, that love for art continued as I would stay up late painting to complete my latest art project. Sometimes, you could even catch me walking around the school with a paintbrush in my hair! I graduated with dreams to pursue my love for art and design. Little did I know that after having the opportunity to shadow a female dentist, my artistic career path would be merged with science.
After completing dental school at Ohio State, I was excited to return home. I returned not just with my dental degree, but also with my husband, Adam, who is a constant source of support and love. Together, we decided to move back to the beautiful hills of Southern Ohio. I could not imagine living anywhere else but where I was born and raised as this area will always have my heart and soul.
Dentistry is sometimes viewed as a task; a broken tooth that needs fixed. However, I view dentistry differently. Im a life-long learner and take ten times the required continuing education each year. This has profoundly influenced my philosophy of dentistry and has shaped the way I serve my patients. I believe wholeheartly that managing a patients dental wellness can not only improve their confidence but also improve their overall health. Im also committed to using my love for art to design naturally beautiful smiles.
