Years of experience
Location
I am a general dentist dedicated to providing compassionate, patient-centered care with a strong commitment to serving underserved communities. My passion for community engagement and service began at a young age and was fostered by my time as a student at St. Xavier High School and continued through my years at Ohio University in Athens, OH and at the Indiana University School of Dentistry in Indianapolis, where I volunteered in several capacities. My professional journey has also been shaped by roles outside of dentistry, including my work as a Direct Support Professional caring for and supporting individuals with disabilities, a pediatric dental assistant helping children overcome dental anxiety, and a specialty pharmacy technician supporting patients with chronic conditions in accessing life-saving medications. These diverse experiences have taught me the importance of empathy, advocacy, and clear communication in building trust and improving the overall patient experience. Returning to Cincinnati allows me to reconnect with my roots, be closer to family, and give back to the city that shaped me. As a new dental provider with HealthSource of Ohio I am eager to combine my clinical training, community service background, and patient-first philosophy to improve access to high-quality dental care for all.
