As a McLean native, I am thrilled to serve the community where I grew up and am now raising my daughter. I attended the University of Virginia where I majored in Biology. I went on to Yale School of Public Health to receive my Master of Public Health in Epidemiology of Microbial Disease. After a few years of working in public health research, my desire to work more directly with patients led me to dentistry. I received my Doctorate of Dental Medicine from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine and returned to DC for my residency at Children’s National Medical Center, where I served as chief resident. I am a board-certified pediatric dentist and an active member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. Outside of dentistry, I am a mom to an active pre schooler. I enjoy baking and reading in my spare time.
