I earned my Bachelor of Arts, Doctorate of Dental Medicine, certificate in orthodontics, and Master of Science in oral biology all from the University of Pennsylvania. My passion for the profession led me to earn additional certifications while a resident, most notably Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics. I also developed an interest in published orthodontic literature, and as a result, I accepted the position of Abstracts Editor for the peer-reviewed journal Orthodontic Practice US. I am a former faculty member of the University of Pennsylvania and lecture nationally and internationally for Complete Clinical Orthodontics, Secchi Institute, and Roth-Williams Center for Functional Occlusion.
