I became a prosthodontist because I loved the specialty.
The precision.
The planning.
The complexity.
The ability to rebuild confidence and function for patients.

But over time, I also realized that being a woman in this specialty meant something too.

It meant being visible.
It meant showing up.
It meant quietly becoming part of the representation I may not have always seen early on.

This weekend, while attending the ODA General Council meeting, I was reminded again of how meaningful it is to be surrounded by colleagues who serve, lead, and continue to represent our profession in so many different ways.


Prosthodontics has historically been male-dominated, but the room is changing.

And I am proud to be part of that change.

Even more proud to share the room with fellow prosthodontists who continue to lead in organized dentistry, including those representing their component societies, as well as Dr. Beatrice Leung representing the Association of Prosthodontists of Ontario, and Dr. Kirk Preston , President of the Canadian Dental Association.

Sometimes it really is the little things.

Pink scrubs. A walk in the sun. A good cup of coffee.

Whatever brings you a bit of peace, happiness, or energy today… hold onto it.

Our mood affects the people around us more than we realize, and positive energy has a way of spreading too. ✨

Still very happy to stay involved with the Toronto East Dental Society and continue serving on General Council with the ODA.


But I would be lying if I said there wasn’t a tiny bit of relief in attending an exec meeting without also having to run it. 😅

It has honestly taken me almost a full year in the Past President role to fully let go and not feel responsible for every meeting.

Grateful for the friendships, the teamwork, and the colleagues who continue to volunteer their time to support our dental community.

All jokes aside, it really is special to be surrounded by people who care this much about our profession.


I am honoured to be part of the Toronto East Dental Society and grateful to have served as President.

As I continue on General Council with the ODA, I hope to keep contributing to the voice that supports and represents our dental community.

One of the most underrated skills in healthcare is being able to smile through your day, even when you may have just walked out of something difficult.

Whether it comes from work or your own life, you still find a way to give your patients your full attention, presence, and care.

That kind of quiet strength is something I will always admire, and something I try to carry on the tougher days.

A fulfilling weekend with my fellow RCDC Fellowship examiners.


Grateful for the opportunity to give back to a profession that has given me so much, and to play a role in shaping the future of our specialty through the RCDC Fellowship exam.

A lot of hard work—but always worth it.

Thank you to my fellow RCDC colleagues for your trust, your friendship, and the shared experience. ✨

But all jokes aside, it was a real privilege to attend the full-day lecture by world-renowned speaker Dr. Joseph Kan.

Thank you to the Ontario Society of Periodontists for inviting the Prosthodontists, along with colleagues from other specialties, to this event.

Dark chocolate: allegedly for cortisol, realistically for coping. 🍫
Apparently it has some stress-reducing benefits, which is exactly the justification I needed as a Prosthodontist.

On harder days, I try to remind myself that I may be living someone else’s dream.
It doesn’t make those days easier, but it does put things into perspective.

Behind every title, every achievement, and every well-run clinic is a person carrying responsibility, pressure, and the quiet weight of wanting to do things well.

Sometimes we are so close to our own lives that we forget to see them clearly.
What feels heavy to us may still look extraordinary to someone else. 🤍

What you see depends on where you stand.
Student. Clinician. Teacher.

When you’re in the middle of it, it’s easy to develop tunnel vision.
Sometimes, all it takes is stepping back to see the bigger picture.

The longer I’ve practiced, the more I remind myself not to lose sight of that.
Not just the tooth. Not just the complaint.

But the person sitting in the chair.

A reminder not to take things personally—
because it’s rarely about me.
Patients are often carrying more than we see.

And because it’s not just about the tooth—
it’s about the whole smile. 🤍
