I am from Tri-Cities, Eastern Washington and moved to Gig Harbor when I was fourteen. I love all forms of art and have tried a vast variety of mediums, my absolute favorite being photography – I enjoy capturing nature, particularly oceanscapes, which is why I love living in Gig Harbor!
My spirit animal is a harbor seal. They are curious, friendly, and happy sea creatures. I like to think I mimic their characteristics, especially their curiosity since I love learning and picking up a new hobby.
I was drawn to orthodontics when I was having my own treatment here- the environment is so welcoming, and the practice is really interesting. I’ve learned so much just from working here.
