• What Brought Me to Dentistry

I love being able to work and give back to my community. Throughout my undergraduate studies, I knew I wanted to do something related to healthcare. With support and encouragement from my family, I found dentistry allowed me to establish connections with patients, solve unique problems, and positively change people’s lives. Dentistry is a great fit for me, as it allows me to combine my love for science, art, and working with my hands in order to truly help people.

My Education & Experience

I studied chemistry at Carson-Newman after earning an academic scholarship. After that, I went to Meharry Medical College, where I fell in love with the art of dentistry. After graduation, I was able to further develop my skills at the residency at St. Vincent Charity Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio.

I am committed to continuing education courses in order to remain current with state-of-the-art technology, procedures, and materials in dentistry. I am always looking for more opportunities to advance my clinical skills to better serve patients. I am an active member of the Academy of General Dentistry and the International Congress of Oral Implantology.

I recently became a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry. This accomplishment is one of the most prestigious awards in dentistry and designates that the awarded dentist has achieved a clear standing of excellence within their profession. Only 6% of dentists in the U.S. have earned this honor by completing 500 continuing education credits, passing a comprehensive 400-question exam, and maintaining membership in the AGD for 3 consecutive years.

Overall, I have spent several years practicing and learning about dentistry, and I’ve certainly enjoyed it. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing improvement in the oral health, appearance, and function of a patient and knowing that I’ve helped in some way.

Life Outside of Dentistry

When I’m not at the dental office, I am enjoying time with my family. Whether it's hiking, golfing, running, skiing, or just going for a walk, we can’t get enough of the outdoors. I also enjoy traveling. One of my favorite places to visit is Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
