__Most people either loved going to the dentist as a kid—or absolutely hated it. Where did you fall? How come?__
I was fairly indifferent because it meant getting to see my grandpa or uncle, but my parents always made my visits early on Saturday mornings when I would rather be sleeping in!
__What (or who) inspired you to get into dentistry? How so?__
My family! I am the 7th dentist. Specifically, my grandpa because he was an incredibly kind and charismatic person who left behind a legacy.
__What’s the most rewarding part of your job?__
Helping people gain confidence with their smile.
__What famous person (alive or dead) is your dream dental patient? Why?__
Rihanna! So we can become best friends :)
__What is the absolute coolest thing about the human mouth?__
It's the opening to your GI tract! And can tell a lot about the state of your general health.
__What’s something that really, really, really makes you smile? Like, really?__
Live music and my dog-ter Dottie :)
