General Info
I look forward to getting to know you and your family. I moved to Chicago in 2002 after getting a degree in biology from Indiana University and my doctorate in pharmacy from Purdue University. After working as a medical science liaison for a biotech startup, I decided to study Dentistry at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry. While in dental school, I enjoyed pediatrics and in my final year, I was a teaching assistant for the pediatric classes. I also had two daughters while in dental schoolstarting my education of being a mother. After completing my dental education and a one-year residency in general practice dentistry, I worked as the Director of the Stephenson County Health Departments dental clinic, primarily treating children. In this position, I had the opportunity to help children become cavity free and provide dental education and care to children at schools and in the health department. Blending my experience of being a mother of two young children of my own and my dental education confirmed my desire to complete formal training in pediatric dentistry. I particularly liked using my parenting skills to help grow my patients to have less anxiety and be able to better cope with receiving dental treatment. I also knew that as a pediatric dentist, I could combine my pharmacy knowledge and dentistry skills to provide dental treatment to children that are apprehensive about dentistry and could benefit from sedative medications. I returned to UIC College of Dentistry to complete a residency program in Pediatric Dentistry and learn the specialized skills associated with pediatric dental care and behavioral management. Following this residency, I have had the experience of working in pediatric dental offices in the Chicagoland area, including Pediatric Dental Health Associates and Childrens Dental World and have since completed the extra written and oral exams to be considered a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.
