If you were an orthodontic tool, which one would you be and why? I’d be the cheek retractor — not because I enjoy stretching people’s limits, but because I’m always trying to make people smile wider.
Hidden talent (or one you wish you had)? I’ve always wished I could play an instrument and sing — just sit down, vibe out, and let the music speak. There’s something magical about turning feelings into sound. Total dream energy.
Favorite part of working in our office (besides all the amazing smiles)? The connections. I love getting to know patients over time and being part of their smile journey from start to finish.
If you could swap jobs with anyone for a day, who would it be and why? A travel photographer! Just one day of wandering somewhere new, camera in hand, capturing stories through a lens. It’s the perfect mix of creativity and adventure.
Ultimate “orthodontic survival kit” item? A hair tie — because you can’t adjust wires with hair in your face. Simple, but essential!
Funniest or most memorable patient moment? A patient told me they were counting down the days until they could eat caramel apples again once their braces come off. I said, “Same! Just bring me one too, and we’ll celebrate together!”
