I love working with our patients and giving them the beautiful smiles and functional bites they deserve. I have always wanted to find a job where you can help make people feel good about themselves and have fun while doing it. I’ve certainly found that here! I have learned so much from our patients and their families. It is an honor to become part of these families throughout treatment.

I also have the pleasure of working with the best possible team. They are all very knowledgeable and hard working. The best part is how much they care for our patients. We work hard at staying on time with appointments and giving the best treatment.

I am so thankful to be an orthodontist. I could not image doing any other job. I love getting to know our patients and watching transform into confident people as their smile improves. Good luck trying to catch me in a bad mood!
Education and Continuing Education

In order to become an orthodontist, I began my education at the University of Pittsburgh where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biology in 2003. From there, I continued on to the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine, graduating in 2007 with my Doctorate of Dental Medicine. After more years of study and training, I earned my Certificate in Orthodontics, also from the University of Pittsburgh, in 2010.

I am very involved with continuing education. I attended courses each year to ensure my patients are getting the most up-to-date treatments to ensure efficient and quick treatments. I keep current in all of the latest breakthroughs in the field of orthodontics to insure our patients the most beautiful results in the shortest amount of time. Orthodontics is a quickly changing field and my education stressed the importance of staying current with the newest concepts. We have had additional training in some of the latest technologies, such as Invisalign® and the Damon® System, to help our patients achieve results that are second to none.
