My family. Having a loving support system to draw from fuels my desire to do well every day.

What makes you successful?
I think it’s hard to achieve a goal if you haven’t clearly defined it. Having a clear personal vision helps me define success and work towards it.
What makes you most proud?
My son, of course! Professionally, I am most proud of the team my husband and I have built. It’s a pleasure to work with people who share your core values. RESIDENCE: HOMETOWN: POSITION: EDUCATION: FAMILY: PET: CAUSE: INTERESTS:

Where do you get inspiration?
My patients every day! Their excitement with their new smile at the end of treatment inspires me to be a better orthodontist more than anything in the world.
What makes you successful?
I give my best in everything I do, towards every goal, and in every task...even in mundane things that other people may find insignificant. I have always felt that success comes from grit and perseverance.
What makes you most proud?
I am most proud of my two wonderful children, as well as my two orthodontic practices that I have built up over the last 12 years.
