I moved to Iowa City from my hometown of Fort Dodge, Iowa to attend the University of Iowa almost 20 years ago.  The vibrant community captured my heart and I knew this is where I wanted to raise a family. 

My favorite part of being a pediatric dentist is “making magic” and seeing the smiles that come after a great appointment. It is a joy to build trust with young patients and their families. I pride myself on treating each child as if they were my own!

My husband and I have four children - 3 boys and a girl - and a yellow lab named Penny. Our family loves cheering on the Hawkeyes and going on adventures – especially exploring the corridor during the summer months!
