I am originally from Eastern Arkansas and grew up in Marion. I attended college at Freed-Hardeman University in Henderson, Tennessee, where I graduated summa cum laude with a B.S. in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. While in college, I met my husband Matt, who is a native of Chattanooga, Tennessee.
I spent my next 4 years in Louisville, KY, attending the University Of Louisville School Of Dentistry, where I earned my DMD degree. While in school, I spent a summer doing an internship in Cherokee, North Carolina, working with Indian Health Services. During my senior year at ULSD, I was inducted into Omicron Kappa Upsilon, a National Dental Honor Society who selects students that have shown exemplary character, leadership, and scholarship.
After dental school, I was accepted into a one-year residency program (AEGD) that brought me to Northwest Arkansas. I completed this residency at the dental clinic in the Fayetteville VA hospital, where I had the privilege of serving our nation’s veterans. My program provided lots of additional clinical experience, from dentures to crowns to oral surgery.
I have fallen in love with this part of the state, and I am happy NWA is now my home! Outside of the office I enjoy spending time with my husband and little girl, Ella. I also enjoy baking, traveling, and all Razorback sports (even though my husband is a Tennessee fan!). We also have a fun time playing Frisbee with our miniature schnauzer, Silas.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at NWA Family Dental and l can’t wait to continue serving my new and existing patients in the future!
