She believes that everyone deserves the best care possible and will go above and beyond to ensure that each and every patient will receive such.

When Rebecca is not in the office, you may find her volunteering at a local non-profit or doing mission trips to provide free dental for those less fortunate. Her favorite things to do outside of dental are grooving the night away to music at concerts or local shows. She is also extremely passionate about staying fit and healthy, so you may find her in the gym or on a hike!
