Q What made you decide to become
a dentist?
A My path has been anything but conventional, filled with both triumphs and challenges that have taught me invaluable lessons. Before pursuing a career in dentistry, I earned a degree in Software Computer Engineering and spent 10 years as a project manager. That background provides me with a unique perspective, particularly in digital dentistry, where I combine engineering precision with top-tier clinical care. I have received extensive education, enabling me to practice interdisciplinary dentistry from general care and complex treatment planning to surgical, implant and endodontic procedures. Today, I utilize advanced tools like 3D imaging, microscopes, state-of-the-art laser technology and in-house digital printing to create customized, high-quality outcomes for every patient.
Q How do your global roots inform
the way you lead your practice?
A Born in Germany to Iranian parents and having lived in Canada before settling in the United States, I’ve embraced the rich
cultural tapestry that has shaped me. My global experience has taught me adaptability, empathy and a deep respect for diverse perspectives—qualities that guide how I lead my practice and connect with my patients.
Q What woman inspires you and why? A I'm inspired by women who push boundaries with resilience and compassion—those who lead with strength but never lose their humanity.
Q If you could go back and offer advice to your younger self, what would you say? A I'd tell her to take the same path. Every challenge and pivot has led me to where I am today, and I wouldn't change a thing. As someone once said, "Life must be lived forward, but can only be understood backward." That resonates deeply as I reflect on my unique and fulfilling journey.
Q What are your interests outside of work? A
I'm a foodie at heart and love exploring new flavors. Lately, I've been diving into pastry-making—it's become a fun, creative outlet that adds a literal and figurative touch of sweetness to my life outside the office.
