I love helping our patients achieve their dreams of having the perfect smile. I love working in orthodontics because I feel I really get to know our patients and their families. In my spare time I love spending time with my 3 beautiful grandchildren. I love to spend time with family and friends, cooking and baking. My husband is a retired firefighter and we love to travel and we enjoy taking road trips in our restored 1946 Ford Woodie.
