Associate Professor of Pediatric Dentistry and Community Health
I am a Board-Certified pediatric dentist with over twenty years of experience in private practice, academic and public health settings. In my role as Associate Professor at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine, I have established multiple programs to increase access to care and improve oral health in underserved communities.
I am the pre-doctoral program director and course director for third- and fourth-year dental students in the pediatric dentistry didactic course and clinical rotation. I am working with several dental students and pediatric dental residents to investigate populations in need of dental care and how best to bring the appropriate services to them.
