Born and raised in Cedar Rapids, I spent my college and dental school years in Iowa City. From there, my husband and I set off on a few adventures, including many years in the Twin Cities and a sun-soaked stint in Hawaii. But ultimately, Iowa called us back home, and now we’re here for good with our two little kids.

Why pediatric dentistry? I love having the opportunity to make a positive impact on children’s health at an early stage. Every day is thought provoking, gratifying, and most importantly - fun! 

Outside of the office, you’ll usually find me outdoors. Whether it’s lounging on a beach, hiking in the mountains, or simply strolling our big, fluffy doodle down the block, I’m happiest when there’s some sun, a view, and a hint of adventure. My favorite food is ice cream, especially a scoop of Monster Mash from Heyn’s.
