During her time in dental school, she traveled to Madagascar to deliver care to children who had no access to dental treatment. It led her to solidify her decision to become a pediatric dentist.

He previously served as the co-chair for the Workforce Development Workgroup of the Connecticut Coalition for Oral Health – a group dedicated to creating better access to dental care for the state’s residents.
Apart from his busy work life, he spends much of his time with his wife and four daughters as well as singing, participating in triathlons, and picking up new skills at home and work.
