I have been interested in the field of dentistry since I was a child. My goal has been to make everyone as comfortable as possible and to help patients achieve beautiful, healthy smiles. I feel that everyone's general health and appearance is intimately linked to the health of their teeth and smiles. With my care and training I feel that anyone can achieve a high level of dental health, translating into a higher quality of life for our patients.

Education

• Bachelor of Science in Chemistry – University of Central Florida

Continuing Education

I have completed the Misch Implant Institute Training for advanced restorations of implants. This has given me the skills to help patients rebuild their dental health through dental implants. I have attended advanced training in cosmetic and restorative dentistry at LSU, in addition to occlusion and complete mouth reconstruction training with the Dawson Academy from St. Petersburg and the Spear Academy from Seattle.
