Welcome to our office. You will find me at the front desk with a warm greeting when you arrive.
I recognize that all of our patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs. I have many years of customer service experience. I am happy to answer your questions, plan for appointments, help resolve your concerns and make your visits positive.
Interacting with patients is what I love the most. Over the years, I realized that being a "good listener" is the key to effective communication. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling and spending time outdoors with family and friends.

I'm passionate about the practice of empowering clients when it comes to maintaining excellent oral and general health. Since 2003, I have been working in this field in Brazil and, when I moved to Canada, I made the decision to continue my mission. I'm delighted to welcome you to our clinic and go over your options in terms of receiving the greatest holistic therapy.
I'm a dental hygienist registered with CDHO and associated with CDHA, ODHA, and RDHU which keeps me abreast of new developments in science and technology. I take part in conferences and further my education whenever I can. Studies linking gum inflammation to conditions including diabetes, hypertension, and Alzheimer's disease have my utmost interest.
I enjoy talking and listening to my clients. I've worked with people who struggle with anxiety, have special needs, and have certain disabilities (visual and auditory). My strategy consists of a treatment plan and an empathetic explanation of everything I'm going to accomplish. In this manner, the patient can reduce their stress, comprehend the value of their treatment, and fully commit to their care.
I enjoy spending my free time with my husband, daughter, and our newest family addition, Molshi the puppy. Typically, we enjoy camping, hiking, and other outdoor activities in the wild environment.

My passion for dentistry started at a young age. I enjoy the environment, have a strong desire to connect with people, and am dedicated to helping others. I prioritize a patient's needs and always want to provide an inviting environment and care tailored to each individual.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, as well as traveling to explore new places and experiences.

You may not always see me during your visit, as I often work behind the scenes cleaning, sterilizing, and preparing dental instruments to help keep the office safe and organized. You may occasionally find me at the reception desk, where I enjoy greeting patients and helping them feel comfortable and welcomed from the moment they arrive.
I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Psychology at the University of Ottawa. My long-term goal is to build a meaningful career in the field of psychology, where I can support others and make a positive difference in their lives.
