I was five years old the first time I visited the dentist. That appointment had a very important impact on my life. Then and there, I knew I wanted to become a dentist. All the models, instruments and gadgets really intrigued me. Luckily, my parents supported my dream and encouraged me throughout school. I lived in Allen Park until my freshman year in college. My parents then moved to Troy where they stayed for many years. I attended Wayne State University where I excelled in my classes. Because I attended classes year-round, I almost finished my Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering in 3 years. I applied for early entrance to University of Detroit – Mercy Dental School , and was accepted. I began my dental career in August 1981.

I am a native of Traverse City who transplanted, with my husband and two cats, to the Metro Detroit area in 2018. After graduating in 2015 with an Associate of Applied Science in Dental Hygiene, I slowly continued my education online while also starting my career. I have since obtained a degree in Public Health and currently have my toe in two fields: one acting as the director of the Hamtramck Drug Free Community Coalition and the other as Dental Hygienist. Thanks to the convenient hours that Crimson Maple Dental provides to meet the needs of their patients, I was able to join the team in 2019 to support the Saturday schedule. I love the opportunity I get to interact with patients and share the importance of oral health care in maintaining whole body health.

My loving family originated from Vietnam and eventually moved to our fine State of Michigan. Being the first in my family to attend college I developed an interest in Dentistry specifically, Dental Hygiene. Like Dr. Ubaydi, I also graduated from University of Detroit Mercy. In early 2020, I received my B.S. in both Biology & Dental Hygiene which means I am well versed in the latest training & techniques that our field has to offer. My goal is to help people and to change their understanding of dental care for the better. After overcoming my own childhood fears of the dentist, I want people to know that I understand, and I am here for them! In my free time I enjoy going to the gym and I love sports. As the Full-Time Hygienist at Crimson Maple Dental I look forward to working with our great group of patients. I am truly dedicated to giving exceptional care!

As far back as I can remember I've always loved going to the dentist. Growing up in a very close knit neighborhood in Detroit we learned many important things in life and one being the importance of dental care. I later had the opportunity to become an office-trained dental assistant for our long time family dentist. During that time my interest and love for dentistry grew. I enrolled and was accepted into dental hygiene program at the University of Detroit and in 1991 I graduated. For the past 30 years I have been very happy to work with Dr. Mullan, and later on merging with Crimson Maple Dental. I know I have been truly blessed to have met so many amazing patients all these years and some have even become friends. I am excited to continue working with these same patients as well as new ones, sharing my love and knowledge of dentistry as I myself continue to grow and learn everyday! In my free time, I love to spend time with my family and friends. I enjoy the outdoors, entertaining, cooking, gardening, knitting and reading.
