My approach to orthodontics is rooted in a deeply personal and patient-centric philosophy. It’s driven by a passion not merely for perfecting smiles but for the significant, positive transformations these changes bring to my patients’ lives and overall well-being. I take great pride in devising customized care plans tailored to each person’s distinctive needs and aspirations. My objective is to elevate my patients’ dental health, boost their confidence, and significantly enrich their quality of life.

As a native of North Carolina, I began my educational journey at UNC-Chapel Hill, later earning my DDS degree from Meharry Medical College in Nashville, TN. After graduation, my husband and I relocated to our nation’s capital, where I completed my specialty training at Howard University’s College of Dentistry, Department of Orthodontics. In addition, I’m proficient in laser therapy treatment, complex interdisciplinary cases and management of orthognathic surgery cases. I am also an active member of several dental associations, including the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) and the American Dental Association (ADA). My commitment to continuous learning ensures I provide my patients with the most up-to-date and effective treatments.

When not creating beautiful smiles, I value time well spent lounging around with my husband and our three girls, watching YouTube or Disney+. We are a very close-knit bunch who enjoys traveling with an affinity for warmer climates. My family is my biggest source of joy and inspiration, reinforcing my dedication to fostering a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere at Chatham Orthodontics, where every patient becomes a part of our extended family.
