I can recall that I wanted to be a dentist from the time when I had my braces on when I was 13 years old. I loved my orthodontist. He had fun doing his job and he treated me not like a kid, but more like a real person who had opinions and questions to be answered. His passion and enthusiasm rubbed off on me and from that point on I knew that I wanted to become a dentist. Dentistry was an opportuni
ty to work with people and make them smile their best, in my opinion the ideal job. I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a B. Sc in 1980 and my D.M.D in 1984. Life long learning and a commitment to continued excellence of service has been my goal and dedication. This makes coming to work everyday a joy and always a new experience. I love what I do, and I have fun doing it. Through my ongoing participation in the Canadian Dental Association, Vancouver & District Dental Society, Vancouver and International Alpha Omega, and other professional organizations I attend numerous continuing education seminars and lectures. This study allows me to continually improve my dental techniques. My special interest has lately been in the area of smile design and cosmetic procedures. My membership in the Crown Council has given us the chance to participate in the “Smiles for Life” campaign and our office has risen over $17,000 this year to aid numerous children’s charities and our office local charity, including – Phoenix Gymnastic Club and Millennium Centre and Stathcona Park Dental Centre. I strive to maintain a balance of my professional career, family, spirituality and health. My husband, Larry, is always supportive of all my accomplishments and has been a great force behind me. I continue to volunteer my spare time to numerous organizations and causes. You can often find over 40 people at our dining room table eating, talking, and enjoying. Our two children, Max and Leatt make up the perfect family. Together we love to ski, ride our bikes and enjoy our British Columbia great outdoors. My continued passion for dancing usually finds me with my tap shoes on at least once a week, and my tennis racquet in my hand as often as possible. I invite you to stop by and meet my outstanding team, and tour our office. I know that you will be impressed with what you see.
