I was born with a cleft lip and palate. As a child, I spent at least one week per year in the hospital for surgery related to my cleft. At ten years old, I decided I wanted to be a pediatric doctor. I wanted to help children feel comfortable, just like my doctors did; but I also had insight into being treated "different" than other children. These childhood experiences led me on a lifelong journey and educational path towards a dental career specializing in children.
