I feel very blessed to be in the wonderful profession of orthodontics. I have such a sense of pride and satisfaction to be able to affect so many people by improving their smiles, giving them more confidence in themselves. I enjoy joking around with patients and parents and making them laugh! Having a friendly, trusting patient/doctor relationship is very important to me. I love to come to work everyday!

Education and Experience

I attended Texas A&M University and completed my dental school requirements in three years while a member of the prestigious Corps of Cadets. I earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree (DDS) at the University of Texas Dental Branch at Houston, graduating fourth in my class. I continued on to Northwestern University Dental School where I received my Master of Science degree and Certificate in Orthodontics. It has been a pleasure to serve my community by providing beautiful smiles for over 25 years.

I am a big believer in continuing education and attend courses regularly. Besides the state requirement for dentistry, I also regularly take orthodontic courses. I focus on new orthodontic techniques, such as Invisalign, Incognito, and Forsus, in order to provide the very best care for all my patients. I am a Diplomate of and board certified by the American Board of Orthodontics, a 10 year process rewarding continuing education, skill, and a commitment to excellence.

In the Community

I believe it is extremely important to give back to the community in as many ways as possible. I am involved with the Guardian Angel of Collin County Advocacy Center for abused women and children, a member of St. Phillips Episcopal Church and a member of the Frisco Sunrise Rotary. I frequently donate to Landstuhl Hospital Care Project and I do charity work through Ducks Unlimited.

Outside the Office

I am a native of Burnet, TX, born and raised! I have six children, Brittany, Blake, Brianna, Brandon, and twins Barrett and Bryce. We also have six dogs, so our house is pretty full! When I have free time I enjoy spending time outside, whether I am hunting or boating, and I also enjoy dog training and photography. My favorite activity by far is raising my kids and spending time with my family.
