I was born in Wildcat country, also known as central Kentucky in the city of Lexington.
I moved to Charlotte in 2000, after surviving the 1999 Y2K fears.
I didn't enjoy my electrical engineering major and decided to follow my dreams into some area of medicine/ healthcare and dentistry was the best fit for me.
Peter Pan was right when he said, "there is always a child in us waiting for opportunities to get out."
Regardless of age, size, education, or any other status; Fun awaits, discoveries entice, self-expression flows, and we want to be loved.
