Dedicating my life to working with patients to achieve their dental health goals is so rewarding and gratifying.

Background: I was born and raised in Saint Augustine, FL with my parents, grandparents, and sister. I graduated high school in 2009 from Pedro Menendez High School, and then attended Saint John’s River Community College where I completed my Associates in Science.

After this, I studied at University of North Florida and graduated with my Bachelor’s of Science in Biomedical Sciences.

I value my patient relationships and the rewarding results we can create together. Dentistry gives me the opportunity to improve quality of life and make people smile, and in what a better environment than the modern facility Family Dental Care NC has to offer!

Background: I was born and raised in Raleigh, North Carolina and was a graduate of Millbrook High School in 2013. I played varsity lacrosse during my high school years, named Millbrook’s first captain, and scored the first goal for the program, which is always a fun memory to look back on. I then attended the University of North Carolina at Wilmington from 2013-2017 where I completed my bachelor’s degree in Public Health Studies. I spent two years working as admin in the dental field prior to my acceptance to Indiana University School of Dentistry in 2019, where I earned my Doctorate of Dental Surgery degree in 2023. 

I married my wonderful husband, Jock, in June of 2021. We have the sweetest mini long-haired dachshund, named Mustard. When I am not practicing dentistry, my husband and I enjoy cooking for and hosting our friends and family, playing games, and spending quality time together. I am also an avid reader and enjoy going for walks around the neighborhood or sitting in a beach chair by the ocean for as long as the tide will allow. When possible, I seek out volunteer opportunities within our church and within the dental community. 

I am excited for the opportunity to reach and serve the dental needs of the Jacksonville and surrounding communities.
