Education & Training

I earned my Bachelor's degree from the University of Maryland in 2016 before attending Harvard School of Dental Medicine, where I graduated in 2020. I then returned to the University of Maryland School of Dentistry to complete my periodontal residency and a Master's degree in Oral Biology. That foundation informs every clinical decision I make and drives my commitment to excellence in patient care.

Clinical Expertise

My practice encompasses the full scope of periodontal and implant therapy, including osseous surgery, soft tissue grafting, extractions with bone grafting, dental implants, implant-supported denture solutions, crown lengthening, and complex restorative-periodontal treatment planning. I take a collaborative approach with each patient, developing individualized treatment plans that align with both your clinical needs and your personal goals.

I am committed to utilizing the latest evidence-based techniques and advanced technology to achieve optimal outcomes. Staying at the forefront of the field through continuing education and investment in modern instrumentation is not just a professional obligation for me. It's a standard I hold myself to every day.

About Me

I grew up in Oakland, Maryland, a small mountain town that instilled in me a deep appreciation for community and genuine connection. Those values are central to how I practice. After years of training on the East Coast and practicing along the Front Range, I now call the Western Slope home.

When I am not in the office, you will find me hiking with my husband and our dog Cash, snowboarding, or enjoying a quiet evening trying out new recipes and reading. I believe that balance outside of work makes me a better clinician inside of it.
