Professional Statement

Early years…
I was born in Caracas, Venezuela before moving to the U.S and settling in Richmond, Va. I completed my undergraduate studies in Biology from James Madison University’s Honors College in 2013 and received my DDS degree from the world’s first dental school, the University of Maryland School of Dentistry in 2017. During my training, I gained a special appreciation for helping communities through dental care by participating in various Mission of Mercy projects serving local underserved populations as well as internationally in Central America through a partnership with Medical Ministry International.

Nowadays…
It is an honor and privilege to join a profession I love and one which gives me the ability to restore not only smiles, but self-confidence in so many individuals. I am always trying to learn the newest techniques and innovations in my field through continuing education courses. At RenovaSmiles, I work hand in hand with the entire team; from the front desk to hygienist and assistants, to provide individualized care and attention to your oral health care needs.

Personal facts about me:
During my free time, I enjoy staying active through local recreation leagues; playing anything from flag football, kickball, and the occasional tennis match. I love spending time with my family and always look forward to the next big reunion with my childhood friends. I am an avid lover of travel and enjoy visiting and getting to know other cultures, especially when it comes to the food!
