She went on to receive her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the UTHealth Houston School of Dentistry in 2021. Following dental school, she completed advanced training at the Grady Infectious Disease Program and Ben Massell Dental Clinic in Atlanta, Georgia, where she provided comprehensive dental care for medically complex and underserved patient populations.

Seeing the positive impact of endodontic treatment on patients’ comfort and quality of life, she returned to Texas to pursue specialty training in endodontics. She is excited to serve the San Antonio community and continue caring for patients in her home state.
