What makes you smile?: It may sound cliche, but my family makes me smile. Every year my children get older, it brings something new and fun.
What superpower would you have and why?: It would be time travel. I love history and enjoy learning about it. I would want to able to go back in time to live history’s important moments rather than just reading about them!
What is the most rewarding thing about being a dentist?: I love helping my patients and making their lives better. Taking the extra step to help people who really need it and seeing how it impacts them is the best part of my work.
If you only had one food to eat for the rest of your life, what would it be?: A steak. I love a good filet!
