Education and Continuing Education

I completed my undergraduate education at Goucher College, earning my Bachelor of Arts in English in 1990. I continued on to Northwestern University in Chicago, IL, for dental school, graduating with my Doctorate of Dental Surgery in 2000.

As a dental geek, I am just always studying—a lot.

In the Office

We strive to have fun at this practice. My team is always excited about coming to work and seeing our awesome patients. We take the time to get to know each patient as an individual, treating them with the same care and consideration we would expect for our own families.

Family Life

I was born in Manila in the Philippines but grew up in Columbia, South Carolina. When I first moved to Alaska, I lived in Nome, serving the Native Alaska community and traveling to remote villages in the Norton Sound area.

I love raising my family in Anchorage. My husband, Wayne, and I have two sons, Joe and Tyler, and a large black Labradane named Frank. If I am not in the office, I am probably hiking somewhere or reading. To cope with my midlife crisis, I have founded a health and wellness company for Alaskans, called Live Breath Alaska where we put on wellness events and promote alternative healthcare practices.
