As a native of Springfield, I am committed to providing superior orthodontic care to my community in a friendly and technology-forward environment. I think of orthodontics as a unique combination of art and science, which makes perfect sense as my mom is an artist and my dad is a surgeon. But my passion for the speciality really comes from the transformations patients experience during treatment and the resulting impact on their lives. I received my DDS and Orthodontic Certificate from University of Missouri Kansas City School of Dentistry (Magna Cum Laude for both) and am certified by the American Board of Orthodontists.
Outside of the office, my husband Derek and I spend time with my extended family in Springfield and our three dogs, Hank, Carlie and Poppy. We also enjoy traveling, attending sports events, and spending summers at Table Rock Lake.
