What’s your role here at CPW Dentistry and what does a typical day look like for you? I am the team leader for the Scheduling Team, so a typical day is making sure the schedule reflects the correct appointments and all requests are being followed up on.
What do you like most about working here? I like that I can freely express myself to my colleagues and share the same core values with the practice as I hold in my personal life as well. Makes waking up easy!
How do you want people to feel when they call the office? I want them to feel valued and cared for. We’re all from different walks of life and to have a judgement-free zone is my absolute goal with every call.
What are you passionate about? I am passionate about equality and justice. No matter your background, amount of money, status, or gender; everyone should be treated equally. We are all someone’s brother, sister, father, aunt, mother, and we should treat each other as we would want to be treated.
What motivates you to come to work every day? To be there for our patients and especially our anxious patients. My care comes from genuine experience and I am able to relate to anxiety prone decisions.
Where did you grow up and what was it like there? I grew up in the lower east side, one block away from Chinatown and it has changed me completely. All different cultures around, people are always welcoming to what is different. This neighborhood has allowed me to indulge in different authentic cuisines from countries I’ve never been to. Made friends from different backgrounds who introduced me to their cultures and foods. It is something I wouldn’t trade – even with the ups and downs it came with. It has challenged me to see humans instead of skin color, religion or political background; we are all one human race.
Are you a dog person or a cat person? I’m an animal person but growing up I was a cat person. I was there while my cat was giving birth. It was so special but so hard to see her in pain.
What is your favorite oral health fact? I’ve learned that just as our healthcare is a privilege it is the same as dental care and I appreciate Dr. Lhota so much for allowing us to be there for patient care and providing patients with multiple options to get the care they need.
