I am your general dentist here at All About Smiles. I am a Pacific Northwest native, having grown up in Spokane, Washington. I attended the University of Washington and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in biochemistry before heading across the country to attend dental school at the University of Maryland in Baltimore. After graduating, I completed a one-year internship in oral surgery at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago and stayed in the city to join a private practice. Despite the opportunities I had in Chicago, I decided to return to my West Coast roots and made the move to McMinnville, Oregon, with my husband, Eric, and our two dogs, Zuri (a Rhodesian ridgeback) and Huxley (a yellow lab). Now I’m excited to say that I’ve stepped into the role of small business owner in addition to being a dentist. Moving to Oregon not only introduced a new step in my professional life but has opened up more opportunities to spend time partaking in some of my favorite hobbies like skiing, hiking, cycling, traveling and, of course, enjoying delicious Oregon wine. My husband and I are thrilled to call the beautiful Willamette Valley home. We are also elated to welcome the newest addition to our family: Owen Robert. He was born April 1, 2018, and we cannot wait to see what this next chapter holds.
"I have severe dental anxiety and my teeth are not in the best shape. These people made me feel safe and comfortable. They explained the process completely. Were transparent and up front about cost. I feel confident with my smile in their hands. So happy I chose them for my dental needs. I have already been referring friends and family to them."
