Hello, I’m delighted you dropped by! My name is Michelle and I’m a dentist and endodontics specialty resident.  I earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from University of Utah School of Dentistry in 2021. 

 

I was born and raised in Ogden, Utah.  My Bachelor of Arts degree was awarded by the College of St. Benedict in Minnesota, where I majored in Psychology with a Gender Studies minor. After graduating, I returned to Utah and discovered a love for teaching. Before applying to dental school, I had the opportunity to spend two years teaching the Human Anatomy Lab at Weber State University and working as a supplemental anatomy instructor for the didactic course with 300+ enrollees. 

​

In dental school, I discovered that saving teeth is the aspect of dentistry I find most appealing. I want to relieve pain while fostering a positive self-image by helping patients retain their natural dentition, whenever possible.  I am passionate about the dental profession and am thrilled to be pursuing a career in the dental specialty of endodontics.

 

Throughout my dental career, I have immersed myself in some groundbreaking research projects.

Feel free to look around and learn more about my research endeavors.
