About Me

I completed my dental education at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), where I received multiple honors for outstanding performance in coursework and clinical care. After this, I completed pediatric specialty training where I learned how to treat the unique needs of children with accuracy and compassion. My training in pediatric dentistry also included hospital rotations on treating children with special healthcare needs. I love working with children from all backgrounds and abilities to ensure they obtain the best care they deserve. In addition to clinical training, I earned a master’s degree in Public Health from Johns Hopkins University to improve healthcare inequalities and oral health prevention at a community level. I was also fortunate to participate in a research fellowship at Harvard University in Patient Safety in Dentistry to further deepen my passion for providing an optimally safe and effective oral health care for children. Overall, my dental training has prepared me as an excellent clinician who has your child’s best interest at heart. I am truly blessed to be a part of this community and work hard each day to improve your child’s health and smile.

Favorites

Besides dentistry, I enjoy spending time with my family. I am married have one child and an energetic dog. I enjoy cooking, trying new restaurants, or watching a movie or TV series on a typical weekend. I also get really excited about traveling! My family and our dog, Doudou, love to take road trips. My husband and I have driven to almost every state in the contiguous U.S. Fun fact—we take pictures of the states’ welcome signs as we cross the border on road trips.
