Provider Bio

I feel lucky to have found a profession that I love and am passionate about. As an orthodontist, I find that I not only straighten my patients’ teeth, but I change their lives as well. I see each one of my patients is an individual and enjoy meeting their unique needs by creating a new, beautiful smile.

I received my undergraduate degree in Mathematics and graduated Summa Cum Laude from Albertus Magnus College. I also carried high honors at the University of Connecticut where I earned my Doctorate of Dental Medicine. After practicing as a general dentist for six years, I returned to the University of Connecticut for my post-doctoral Certificate in Orthodontics and a Master of Dental Science degree.

I believe in continually advancing my education so that I can offer my patients the best possible care and results. As a member of several professional organizations, I am able to keep up-to-date on the latest technology and treatment options. I am active in the American Association of Orthodontists, the American Dental Association, the Illinois State Dental Association, and the Illinois Society of Orthodontists.
