“I am from Tacoma, WA, and have lived here all my life. I’ve been a volunteer Baby Rocker in the NICU at Tacoma General Hospital since 2001. When I’m not in the office, I love skiing, golfing, yoga, swimming, running, hiking, gardening, cooking, and attending my grand nieces’ sporting events.”
Why did you choose orthodontics?
“I became interested in dentistry when I had braces at age 12. I loved that they gave me a beautiful smile. I wanted to do the same for other people, so I became a dental assistant. I love helping make beautiful smiles and watching our patients change and grow.”
Who is your hero?
“My dad. He was a very kind, smart man. He prepared me for life, my whole life by always planting seeds and preparing me for the challenges life brings. I am so grateful I listened to him and blessed to be his daughter.”
What’s one item on your bucket list?
