I earned my bachelors degree in nutrition at the School of Public Health at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. After a brief 3-year career as a nutrition research coordinator at the UNC School of Public Health, I realized that I wanted to have a more personal impact on the health and lives of others. It was that passion that led me to dentistry.
Two weeks before I began dental school, I married my best friendthe man God chose for me. My husband Ash also works in healthcare, and we share the same love of health and wellness. Im grateful for his encouragement and support of my vision of Lumber River Dental.
I graduated from the UNC School of Dentistry in 2008, then moved back to Robeson County to serve my hometown community. Im incredibly passionate about dentistry and take pride in staying abreast of the latest research in the dental field. Every year, I complete over four times the amount of continued education required by the North Carolina Dental Board. Im also on track to receive fellowship status in the Academy of General Dentistry in 2015. In addition to being an active member of the dental community and serving on local and state leadership boards, I am a delegate of the North Carolina Dental Society to the House of Representatives for our district.
I look forward to welcoming you and your family to Lumber River Dental, and to showing you how different a dental office can be. My team and I are committed to making your visits comfortable, convenient, and enjoyable, each and every time.
