What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to further my impact on children's oral health through clinical practice, education, and community outreach.

I am a board-certified pediatric dentist with a passion for improving children's oral health. My experience spans various roles, including my current position as an Associate Pediatric Dentist at Panhandle Pediatric Dentistry, where I focus on innovative treatments like Silver Diamine Fluoride to prevent emergency visits in children with early childhood caries.

Throughout my career, I have actively engaged in research and presentations, contributing to the field of pediatric dentistry. My work includes publications in esteemed journals and presentations at significant conferences, such as the International Association of Paediatric Dentistry. I am committed to advancing pediatric dental education and mentoring future professionals in the field.
