Clinical Experience

I have practiced dentistry for nearly three years now, having most recently joined an Open and Affordable practice in South Aurora. I joined Open and Affordable in January of 2024, where I have had the opportunity to serve majority Medicaid patients. Prior to joining this practice, I worked for a year and a half as a Dentist at the non-profit Visiting Ancillary Services, which caters specifically to patients in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. During this time, I was able to treat the elderly population by traveling to facilities around Colorado and administer care that was otherwise difficult to obtain or altogether inaccessible.

During my attendance at the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine, I had the opportunity to shadow the Worthmore Clinic, which serves refugee populations in Aurora Colorado. During my time at CU, I attended the ACTs program, which allowed me to donate my time practicing dentistry at various community health centers across Colorado. Prior to moving to Colorado, I volunteered my time to Smiles Change Lives, a Kansas City-based non-profit helping children and adults receive Orthodontic treatment at a reduced cost.
