I made the decision at a very young age that I wanted to follow in my father’s footsteps and work in dentistry. I can even recall back to the age of 7, walking around my father’s practice, constructing and playing around with all the dental models. This love for dentistry stuck with me all throughout my teenage years and into college. Prior to attending dental school, I earned my bachelor’s degree of science in biology from the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California. Not long after graduation, I decided to follow in my father’s footsteps and attend the same graduate school at the University of Pennsylvania. There, I gained extensive knowledge in multiple fields of dentistry, including cosmetic, restorative, and surgical. In 2000, I completed UPenn’s dental medicine program and received my Doctor of Dental Medicine degree.

After graduation, I joined my father’s successful practice and was mentored by him there. This mentoring in highly specialized care allowed me to learn how to perform complex procedures like full-mouth rehabilitations. In 2008, I embarked on a special educational journey by taking an extensive course in dental implantology.
