When did you start working for Christ Community?

August 2025

Why did you choose to join Christ Community?

I felt God tugging at my heart years ago to do mission work, and along the way, I’ve learned that serving others actually starts in your own community. I love that Christ Community allows and encourages me to pray with patients and show the love of Christ. I am excited to serve as a pediatric dentist on staff at Christ Community and hope to make lasting impacts on my patients here.

What is your favorite thing about your profession?

I love that it is a blend of art and science, so I get to use both sides of my brain! More importantly, I love that I can play a part in improving patients’ confidence through enhancing their smile. For children specifically, I am a firm believer that those first few dental visits are crucial for the trajectory of that child’s life and how they view dentists and other healthcare providers, as well as the importance of oral health. I hope that by meeting each patient where they are, I can have a positive impact on their visit and on their life.

What is your favorite Bible verse?

“To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.” – Colossians 1:29 and “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” -Matthew 6:33

What’s something we don’t know about you?

I studied abroad in Australia for 4 months!

What do you like to do in your spare time?

Travel, read, bake, bike, and do anything on the water!
