Additional Information
I loved working in dentistry because of the patients; my practice was made up of mostly children. Helping children to overcome their fears, laugh and have fun was always my biggest joy in dentistry. I would like to continue having fun, laughing and bringing joy to children from a teaching perspective, using different modalities of mindfulness, reading, singing, dancing. I am very excited to learn from all the opportunities that I am given.
