Meet Our Dental Team

I love getting people to smile. There are few things as satisfying as getting someone out of pain, getting their teeth and gums healthy, and getting their confidence back with a beautiful smile. When my patients are happy, I am happy. I am committed to giving people the best service that they can find, no matter what it takes.

Growing up in Carlsbad, I was born with the love of the ocean in my blood. I surf at every opportunity that I get and the beach always feels like home. When I’m not on the sand or in the water, I enjoy painting waves and seascapes. I’ve had less time recently as my wife and I just had a baby girl, our first. She is very smiley and our dog can’t wait until she is old enough to throw a ball!

I became a Registered Dental Hygienist in 2017. After being in the Marine Corps from 2010-2014, I wanted a career where I could help people more directly. I love helping people feel confident with their smiles after dental cleanings, as well as educating them on how they can improve their oral hygiene.

In my free time, I enjoy camping with my daughter Ellie and my fiancé Valerie. We also love snowboarding and taking Ellie to Disneyland.

I bring 15 years of dental experience and passion to Laguna Beach Dental Arts. With my extensive knowledge, I am able to maximize our patients’ dental benefits to their absolute fullest. I enjoy taking on insurance companies and helping our patients reach their smile goals. I am grateful to be a part of this wonderful team and get to enjoy the beach everyday!

Growing up in Southern California, I enjoy the year-round perfect weather! When I am not at the beach, I love finding new restaurants to try with my husband of 23 years and our two amazing sons.

I have been a Registered Dental Assistant in Orange County for 18 years and have worked with many dental professionals. I love working with a great doctor and team that takes excellent care of each other and their patients. Excellent patient experiences are our highest priority and I work hard to make sure that everyone that comes in feels comfortable in our office. The most rewarding part of my job is making lasting connections with patients while relieving pain and anxiety, and helping them have a beautiful, healthy smile. I see patients like they are my own family members.

Living in Laguna Beach since 2009 with my husband, who was raised here, has allowed me to fully appreciate our community. With my free time, I volunteer at the animal shelter and in various community events. I am a marathon runner, a ukulele player, and a surfer.
