I am currently an Associate Professor with SHRP’s Department of Allied Dental Education and have been a faculty member for 15 years. I teach several courses such as Dental Radiology, Pharmacology, Local Anesthesia and Medical Emergencies.
I also treat patients at the faculty practice in our Scotch Plains facility. I enjoy working with the students, knowing that they will be leaving with a wonderful career on which they can build.
