From a young age, I’ve always enjoyed brightening others’ days with my sense of humor and genuine interest in people. My journey to discovering a passion for dentistry was anything but typical. I wasn’t born into a family of dentists; however, my parents encouraged me to channel my outgoing personality into a field that would not only bring me joy but also help others find happiness.

At the University at Buffalo, I pursued a concentration in Studio Art and Biological Sciences. While I loved creating art, I also discovered a deep interest in science and the humanities. As I explored these diverse paths, I found my purpose in dentistry—a field where art and science meet to transform lives, starting with something as foundational as a smile.

My training at New York University, provided me with an in-depth understanding of the vast array of materials used to restore form, function, and aesthetics for patients with both simple and complex dental conditions. I gained comprehensive experience in removable prosthetics, fixed and implant prosthetics, diagnosis and treatment planning, as well as digital and surgical planning.

To stay current and engaged in emerging oral healthcare, I actively participate in a wide range of in-person study clubs and research groups in NYC, across the country, and internationally. I frequently collaborate with other top specialists and present lectures, sharing the knowledge I’ve gained and collected along the way.

When I’m not working, I enjoy discovering the world around me. Whether I’m running by the river, visiting my favorite Pilates studios, trying new restaurants, or catching up with friends and colleagues over the latest flavor at our local ice cream shop, I find joy in new experiences.
