Provider Bio

Beautiful smiles enhance self confidence, esteem, career successes and one's positive attitude toward life in general.
Orthodontics is my passion and I feel so fortunate to be part of this profession. The field of orthodontics is both an art and a science. This combination has always intrigued me. When patients come into the office, I am looking to optimize function, esthetics and stability for an improved quality of life. It is so rewarding to see the changes in confidence and self-esteem that accompany the smile transformations! It is also an honor to get to know our patients during their journey to a beautiful, healthy smile.

The field of orthodontics is always evolving. Technological advances, new materials, products and techniques are constantly being introduced. I believe in the importance of continuing education to stay up-to-date on the latest advances in the field. Staying abreast of these latest advances allows us to provide our patients with the very best in orthodontic treatment.

I am a native of Western New York: I was born in Rochester and grew up in Batavia. Although my education then took me elsewhere, I was very excited to relocate back home in 2008! Outside of the office, I love spending time with my husband Roger and our two children Kyle and Sophie. The kids are growing up so quickly, and I savor every moment with them! As a family we enjoy crafting and playing games together, traveling, reading, watching movies and enjoying the outdoors. I love to bake and I especially enjoy creating and decorating themed goodies for special occasions. I find that it is another outlet for my artistic side!
