I was born near Vancouver, BC, Canada, and then raised in Seattle, WA, I finished up my undergraduate studies at PLU in Tacoma, WA. After, I completed my dental degree (DMD) in Chicago. By the time I completed my DMD degree I had the opportunity to work at multiple under-served clinics in Chicago, helping patients with complex medical histories and special needs. After graduating I worked in Kent, WA where I honed skills in surgical extractions, implant placement, endodontics, and a multitude of other procedures. This experience gave me the confidence to execute complicated procedures with efficiency and great clinical results.
