What inspired you to pursue dentistry as your career?
From a young age, I was deeply inspired by my father, a dedicated and respected doctor.

Dentistry stood out to me—it’s where science meets artistry, and where transformation is not just physical, but emotional. The ability to relieve pain, restore function, and bring back someone’s confidence through a smile felt like a true calling. For me, dentistry was never just a profession—it was a way to serve, create, and uplift lives, one smile at a time.
