Upon graduating Magna Cum Laude from the law school, I practiced law for 6 years at the prestigious law firm of Morrison & Foerster, San Francisco office. During my tenure at the law firm, however, I discovered that my passion was not in law, and I decided to change my career about 10 years ago to become the Practice Administrator for this Practice. Over the years, I have grown with the Practice and discovered that I am truly passionate about this Practice and the profession of dentistry. I view my job as ensuring that this Practice continues to deliver outstanding, personalized, and comfortable care to our patients via utmost attention to detail. My goal is to build lasting and rewarding relationships with our patients and other team members to ensure that this Practice is the best there is. As the creative force behind the Practice, I love to introduce and challenge my team members with new and better techniques and ideas and to help my team members grow to achieve and exceed their potentials and goals. But, most of all, I love talking to patients whose lives have been transformed in small and large ways because of our ability to deliver outstanding, state-of-the-art dentistry and service. I am happily married with 2 children; my hobbies include reading, traveling, crafts, and piano.

In the last few years I have attended courses with the California Dental Association (CDA), the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) and the Spear Institute in Scottsdale, Arizona.
