When I was a small child, my parents moved to San Diego, where I also completed my high school education. After pursuing my studies at the University of California, Riverside, I was awarded a Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry. I graduated from the University of Pacific, Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco with a doctorate in dental surgery. I picked dentistry as my career because it’s a field that blends entrepreneurship, science, art, creativity, and patient engagement. Seeing my patients smile and happy after treatment is the most fulfilling aspect of my job as a dentist. I’ve learned from working as a dentist that you can never learn enough to advance your profession.
