I was born and raised in Cordoba, Argentina. I moved to the USA in 1998 at the age of 19 and settled in northern Lake County. I joined the team od Den-Care Smile Center in 2000 after completing my dental assisting training and certification with the Naval Dental Clinic and the American Red Cross.

In 2001 I enrolled as a full time student at the University of Sioux Falls (South Dakota), where I also participated in varsity soccer and recieved athletic scholarships. In 2005 I enrolled in the Dental Hygiene program at the University of South Dakota, graduating in 2007.

After a long absence I rejoined the Den-Care team in the summer of 2007 with the support and generosity of Dr. Kozina. Here I enjoy seeing patients from all ethnical backgrounds and all ages. My bilingual proficiencies in spanish/english enable me to educate and communicate the dental needs to some patients that might not be very proficient in english, thus allowing for good rapport and patient relationships. I also work one day a week in Evanston, IL.

I enjoy spending time with my beauitful daughter Serenah, travelling, visiting my family in Argentina, and still remain an active amateur soccer player in the local leagues.
