I was born in India and my family immigrated to the United States before I turned one. I grew up in New Jersey (yes, I was a Jersey girl) and later lived in Arizona for 2 years. I completed my Bachelor of Science degree in biology at Emory University in Atlanta, GA. In 1995 I received my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree (DDS) at the University of Minnesota School Of Dentistry where I was awarded for excellence in pediatric dentistry.
Currently, I enjoy teaching at the University of Minnesota School Of Dentistry. I participate in various study groups (Seattle Study Club and Spear Education Study Club). I continue to take extensive education classes in order to improve my dentistry and offer the newest technology to my patients. In my free time, I volunteer at Hope Dental Clinic (previously known as Union Gospel Mission) and participate in other charitable dental events. I served as President of the St. Paul District Dental Society affiliated with the American Dental Association.
