I’m very excited to be serving the Bay Area community and the patients of Alameda Pediatric Dentistry! I was born in Los Angeles, then moved to Hong Kong and later, Las Vegas. Growing up I had a passion for basketball (go Warriors!) and snowboarding, as well as traveling to new places.

I graduated Magna Cum Laude from UCLA, obtaining my bachelor’s degree in Physiological Sciences. I then moved up to San Francisco to attend dental school at the University of the Pacific, where I graduated as the class Salutatorian, right behind my best friend Dr. Jennifer Tung! After receiving my Masters of Science and certificate of orthodontics at the University of Rochester Eastman Institute for Oral Health, I stayed in New York to work with a great mentor and wonderful families for another 5 years. My husband, son and I moved back to San Diego for 2 years to be closer to family, and now we have decided to raise our family in the beautiful East Bay!

I am a board certified orthodontist, with active memberships in the American Board of Orthodontics, the American Association of Orthodontics, the American Dental Association, and the California Dental Association.

When I am not in the office, I love to spend time with my husband and two wonderfully active kids, Kai and Layla. We enjoy traveling, trying new restaurants, and cooking/baking new recipes!
