Well, my dad is an orthodontist. So when I was younger, obviously I was just around him a lot. And then when I got older, I kind of worked for him for a little bit and realized what that could all be about. I did try to veer off for a little bit, see if I would find anything else interesting, so it wasn't just following his path, but turns out that's just where I belonged.
I think the most rewarding part of being a dentist is that moment that they get to see exactly what they wanted from a smile standpoint or just confidence in themselves. I've seen patients that come in, and they just are very timid about their smile. They're covering their face. Right now they're really excited that masks are a real thing, but then the moment that they finally get the smile that they're confident walking around, and I've seen people get jobs that they wanted. And I think that's such a rewarding thing that I was a little piece of that.
Well, I'm from Indiana, so I was born and raised there, and then I went to Miami Ohio for undergrad, and that's when I decided to go to UK for dental school, came here and met my husband in dental school and then stayed here. I bleed blue, though I am from Indiana, I still bleed blue. So I've always stayed in with continuing education, especially through COVID. We did a lot of online things with implant training and just all online. But I know that here at Beaumont, they do a lot of continuing education that will help me stay on track with that. I'm so grateful to be welcomed into the Beaumont family. And I can't wait to welcome patients in as well, and hopefully I get to take care of them all.
