About
It has been my great privilege to spend three-plus decades working with an amazing array of patients and professionals across a variety of settings, in a field I love just as much today, as the first day I stepped into a dental office. I was wonderfully fortunate to spend the first 25 years of my career working in a variety of roles within the dental office, managing an office and staff, and providing patient care.
The past 10 years I have been heavily involved in a number of ways in dental infection education, and have developed very particular and widely-recognized expertise and comfort in translating complex regulatory infection control policies into pragmatic office-based practices.
I am very comfortable in the warm and intimate setting of an “average” hustling and bustling dental office, and embrace and enjoy the energy and intellectual synergy created in an interactive, well-crafted and well-executed lecture, seminar, and/or webinar.
