What is the most important thing you learned before high school?
The most important lesson I learned before high school was how to do a job the right way. I am extremely lucky to have a family full of people that work very hard and always give their best effort no matter what it is they are doing. Growing up with these incredible people as my role models led to a lot of good lessons learned but the best one that they gave me was the importance of working hard and doing a job the best you can.

Dentist in Keller, Tx
I’ve known I wanted to be a dentist since the 3rd grade. A classmate’s father, who was a dentist, came to career day and brought disclosing tablets that turn dirty spots on your teeth red. I thought it was the coolest thing I’d ever seen and went home that day to tell my parents I was going to be a dentist.
My passion for dentistry evolved when I worked as a dental assistant through high school, college and dental school. I enjoy keeping abreast of the latest techniques, materials and technology through a commitment to lifelong learning and continuing education. I’ve had the honor of being mentored by some of the finest dentists in the world and find it rejuvenating to be around like-minded dentists who challenge the status quo and sharpen each other’s skills.
I still find wonder in the cutting-edge technology we use every day that has completely transformed how I practice dentistry. I find it tremendously rewarding to be able to transform people’s smiles and to restore health and function. I am so proud of the team we have assembled and the practice we’ve built together. I look forward to meeting you where you are, finding out where you want to be and helping you get there.
