Born in Kansas, Dr. Lee has split her childhood between multiple states (Kansas, Pennsylvania, New York, California) and countries. After attending UCLA for college, she had a stint at graduate school and an internet startup company. Dentistry was suggested and she has not had any regrets since choosing it. She completed her dental training at Temple University in Philadelphia and pediatric dental training at Childrens Hospital Boston/Harvard University. Marriage took her back to the west coast and now she is settled in Portland, Oregon with her husband and kids.
