I love being outdoors, bike riding, volunteering for events with Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, spending time with my husband, family, and my cats and dog!

I have been treating patients at The Village Dentist in Canton since 2006. I am happy to be part of this amazing dental team. I believe every patient is unique and should be treated as such.
