I was born and raised in Southern California. I earned my undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences from California State University, Fullerton, and went on to receive my Doctor of Dental Surgery from Loma Linda University School of Dentistry. I graduated with honors and in the top 20% of my class.
From an early age, I knew I wanted to work in healthcare. After getting braces in middle school, I discovered my passion for dentistry. I feel incredibly grateful to be in a field where I can care for patients of all ages with compassion and help promote their overall health. I am an active member of the American Dental Association (ADA), California Dental Association (CDA), and Tri-County Dental Society (TCDS).
