I am proud to say that I was born and raised in Leamington. I began my studies at the University of Windsor, where I earned three degrees focusing on Mathematics & Biology, Education, and Masters of Science. I then completed my Doctor of Dental Surgery through the University of Detroit Mercy.
I was fortunate enough to achieve multiple awards upon graduating from dental school - The American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons presented me with the top dental surgical award while The Academy of Operative Dentistry presented me with the top operative dentistry (dental fillings) award. I have since held Fellowship status from the International Congress of Oral Implantologists. Currently, I have immersed myself with all things digital in an effort to master a workflow that is both patient-friendly and incredibly accurate. It is my hope to use my passion for dentistry to provide excellent patient care.
I have always been fully committed to Windsor/Essex. This is where I live with my amazing wife, Ghada and our four wildly independent daughters, Princesses Cadence, Ariya, Eliana and Mikayla. When I am not a ‘Dance Dad’, my new hobbies include cycling, and smoking meat. My commitment to our local community is best exemplified with the founding of a registered charity that gives back to local patients who are undergoing active cancer therapy, the Love, Betty Cancer Foundation.
Being the daughter of a nurse, it's no surprise that I chose a career in health care. I love working in dentistry and truly enjoy the relationships that caring for my patients allows me. I have found the challenges of customizing dental treatment based on knowing my patients' individual needs and desires extremely rewarding. I also enjoy the artistic outlet that dentistry allows me.
Originally from Amherstburg, Ontario, I graduated from the dental school at the University of Western Ontario in 1994. I have been fortunate to have been able to serve the community of LaSalle for 22 years as an associate dentist and now as a practice owner. Part of what keeps dentistry exciting for me is continually updating my knowledge and skills through ongoing participation in study clubs, lectures, workshops and online learning.
I currently reside in South Windsor with my husband Len, my two daughters Kristen and Erin and our bunny LeBron. I am an avid runner and enjoy working in my garden, reading and spending time with family and friends.
I grew up in Tecumseh, Ontario, and I completed an Honours Biology degree at the University of Windsor. I then earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Western University's Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, where I was honoured to graduate with the American Academy of Oral Medicine award.
Throughout my time in school, I enjoyed exploring all disciplines of dentistry and found myself especially drawn to the unique balance of science and artistry the field offers. Creating a positive and comfortable experience for every patient is at the core of how I practice, and I am grateful to be part of a team that shares these values.
Outside of the clinic, I enjoy practicing hot yoga, trying new restaurants, and spending time on the golf course. I look forward to building lasting connections with my patients and serving the LaSalle community!
I was raised in LaSalle, Ontario. I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Windsor and obtained an Honours Bachelor of Science degree majoring in Biomedical Sciences. I then completed my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the University of Western. I am passionate about all areas of dentistry, enjoying the variety that general practice has to offer. I am eager to create personable patient relationships and hopefully make impactful changes in the community I grew up in. Outside of dentistry, I love spending time with friends and family, travelling, and cozying up with a good mystery novel.
