I received my dental education from UCLA before becoming a physician at Oregon Health and Science University, where I also completed my residency training. I now work as faculty there, teaching oral surgery residents. In my spare time, I love trying new restaurants and enjoy being outside with my husband and two dogs.

My favorite hobbies are yoga and running. I love reading fantasy fiction novels and watching Timbers and Blazers games with my husband. I also love traveling all around the world, and you will often find my husband and me in Bend when we can get away.
My goal as your surgeon is to ensure you always feel heard, comfortable and completely at ease in the chair. Dentistry is deeply personal, and I believe exceptional care starts with genuine compassion, a gentle touch and active listening.
