A Different Approach
Having my wisdom teeth removed in my 20s sparked my commitment to helping people live better lives through better dental health. I have an undergraduate degree in marketing and was working in sales when I visited a friend – a dentist – in Miami to have my wisdom teeth removed. I spent the entire day at his office and was amazed by the level of care he provided his patients in a friendly office environment. I immediately decided I wanted to help others and become a dentist and began taking the required science courses for entry into dental school. Six years after obtaining my undergraduate degree I returned to West Virginia University, my alma mater, to attend their dental school and became a proud graduate of the WVU School of Dentistry.
