Education & Continuing Education
Born and raised in Omaha, I graduated from Central High School before attending Truman State University for my undergraduate degree in Biology. After discovering my passion for orthodontics, I returned to Nebraska to attend the UNMC College of Dentistry, where I completed both my dental degree and orthodontic residency. I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to practice orthodontics right here in my hometown.
I love getting to know my patients and their families and creating an environment where they feel comfortable and cared for throughout treatment. I’m committed to providing excellent orthodontic care while making the experience itself something patients can feel good about.

What it Means to Be Board-Certified
ABO Board Certification is a voluntary credential that represents an orthodontist’s personal and public commitment to the standards of specialty practice and lifelong learning. The ABO Certification process requires the completion of peer-developed, externally validated written and clinical examinations. A Board-Certified orthodontist has reached this level of achievement by pursuing additional voluntary education and ongoing self-assessment.
Board Certification is confirmation of an orthodontist’s personal commitment to providing lifelong quality patient care.
The American Board of Orthodontics is the only orthodontic specialty board recognized by the American Dental Association and the American Association of Orthodontists.
These professional affiliations enable me to stay current with all the latest trends, techniques, and technologies within my specialty and allow me to interact with my colleagues for the collective benefit of all patients’ care.
At Home
Outside of the office, my husband and I stay busy raising our two boys, Luca and Theo. Free time can be hard to come by with two rambunctious boys, but when I get the chance, I love reading, crafting, and perfecting my gluten-free baking. On the weekends, you can often find us exploring Omaha in search of a new playground or something fun to do as a family.
