What I Love About Dentistry

I enjoy providing quality dental care while helping patients overcome dental anxiety. My goal is to create a personalized, positive experience that supports each patient’s overall well-being and smile confidence.

Background

I was born and raised in Raleigh, NC, and graduated from Millbrook High School in 2013. I played varsity lacrosse, serving as team captain and scoring the program’s first goal.

I earned my B.S. from UNC Wilmington and worked in dental administration before entering Indiana University School of Dentistry in 2019, where I completed my D.D.S. in 2023.

I married my husband, Jock, in June 2021. We live with our mini long-haired dachshund, Mustard, and enjoy cooking, entertaining, and spending time together. I’m an avid reader and love the beach. I also volunteer through our church and dental community, and I’m excited to serve the Jacksonville area with compassionate, modern dental care.
