I started my journey to becoming an orthodontist when I got braces in third grade! I was convinced at a young age that I wanted to be an orthodontist someday because I had such a positive experience during my own orthodontic treatment. It is now my hope that I impact my patients in such a way that they leave their orthodontic experience feeling inspired and confident in their future and their smile!

Family Life

I am happily married to my husband, Jeff, who is my best friend. Our son, Jacob, is the most wonderful blessing in our lives and he is changing so quickly that the pictures you see here are probably outdated! In my free time I enjoy being with family, serving in our church community, golfing with Jeff, hanging out with Jacob, traveling, running, hiking and just being outside!
