I graduated from Northwestern University with a Bachelor of Arts in Biology, received a Bachelor of Science and Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of Illinois.  My postgraduate periodontal residency was completed at Boston University.  I have also achieved a Master’s in Business Administration from the University of the Pacific Eberhardt School of Business. In addition, I am an Associate Professor in the department of Periodontics at the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry, San Francisco.  I practice periodontics in the Faculty Dental Service Group at Pacific and maintain a private practice in Oakland, California. I have been honored to serve as an ACDS Director-At-Large Board member since 2010. Travel is one of my passions and look forward to more adventures.
