My passion is literally to create smiles as a dentist - for my patients or through volunteer efforts (special needs, Vets, mission trips).

I love that at 48 I have become more confident in my own skin & in my ability to make a meaningful impact on others. I’ve felt happiest nurturing close relationships (rather than catering to a crowd of acquaintances), and I truly understand the value of TIME. It has been liberating to be able to say NO in order to spend more time doing what fuels my heart. I love that at this age, I have the resources, experience, confidence & ability to make a lasting difference on causes that speak to me
How do you stay fabulous?I don’t stop moving! I stay particularly busy with my dental practice, and I absolutely LOVE creating beautiful smiles. Whether it’s with my patients, or Veterans we serve, or pro bono cases, or through volunteer efforts (on international medical mission trips, the Special Olympics, Miss Amazing, or various other organizations) - each opportunity brings a unique way to make a lasting difference. There’s nothing like contributing to making someone smile! I also eat healthy & always wear SPF!
What would you do with the $40,000?I feel so passionate about how a smile can literally change someone’s life because I’ve witnessed it happen firsthand - Especially on an individual who would otherwise not be able to afford it. So I would LOVE to continue the volunteer work that I do, but on an even grander scale. The winning funds would help me reach so many more deserving individuals to give them a healthy & beautiful smile. I’m also so passionate about animal rescue (and have 2 special needs pups) so would also donate there.
