Born and raised in Ottawa, I began my career in the dental field in 2011 while living in Alberta. Looking back, I truly feel that dentistry is where I was always meant to be — even in elementary school, I wrote that when I grew up, I wanted to be a dentist.
Since starting my career, I’ve developed a deep passion for patient care and creating positive experiences for both children and their parents. As a mom to an older teen myself, I understand how important it is for families to feel comfortable, supported, and welcomed at every visit.
I love building connections with patients and take pride in helping families feel at ease from the moment they walk through the door. I’m excited to meet and greet every patient as part of the Little Lion team, and I look forward to making each visit a positive one for the whole family.
Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, spending quality time with my family, and dreaming about future travel adventures — especially visiting Greece and one day swimming with turtles in Hawaii.
