His passion and work ethic were instilled in me as a child. I became the first female in my family to graduate from an American university and embark on my career as a dentist with one goal: the wellbeing and happiness of my patients.
I earned my undergraduate degree from Washington University in St. Louis. After graduating from the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine, I lived in New York City where I completed my surgical-based residency program. There began the process of learning how to manage dental patients anxiety and fears of dentistry and turning it around into a positive and fun experience.
Following my residency, I needed to find a city that I could call home. I visited my best friend who was living in Chicago at the time and instantly fell in love with the city. There was no place like Chicago in the world; a perfect combination of big-city lifestyle and Midwestern humility and spirit.
I practiced in Chicago for several years until my husbands job took us on an incredible adventure to Dubai. It was an eye-opening experience where I was lucky to meet people from countless countries and cultures, and travel around the world. I gained a perspective that cannot be replicated and forged life-long friendships.
In another unexpected twist, we returned back to where it started, Chicago, and finally settled in the wonderful Northshore community. I came back with a vision and a goal: to create a new dental practice that is a reflection of who I am (passionate, caring, loving), what I care deeply about (my patients, friends, and family), and my amazing life journey. After a few years of searching, I was blessed to find the perfect space and finally started to turn my dream into a reality. And from that vision, Enamel & Root was created.
At Enamel &Root Dentistry, you will never just be another patient. It will be my goal and pleasure to make sure all your dental needs are met and that you absolutely love your experience with us and that you never leave without a smile.
Say goodbye to the dental office of the past and hello to a modern approach to dentistry at Enamel & Root. Our goal is to be the best dentist you have ever had, and we work hard each and every day to ensure that goal becomes reality.
