I'm very excited to be joining the Broad & Bright Dental Family! I was born and raised in Toledo, Ohio and completed a Bachelors in Biology at the University of Toledo. I moved to Connecticut and earned a Masters in Biomolecular Sciences. All the while, I was a dental assistant to keep relevant to my dream. The Ohio State University College of Dentistry is where I completed my DDS training. It's been wonderful being back in Ohio.
My amazing husband is my souvenir from the east coast and we have 2 very cool cats and 2 wild puppies. We're expecting our first baby this october!! In what little free time we have, we've enjoyed countless home remodeling projects and time with family and friends. I enjoy cooking, kayaking, hiking, trivia, traveling, antiquing, volunteering, and of course, dentistry. Keeping current with dental continuing education and technology is very important to me. I love making people smile and I truly look forward to caring for the young smiles of your children!
