She decided to switch careers and work in pediatric dentistry, as she’s always enjoyed working with children. Becca used to coach tumbling classes and some cheer teams. She wanted to find something she was passionate about. Working with kids and having a fascination with teeth is what propelled her into the dental industry.

For Becca, the most rewarding part of her job is the ways our dentists go about their treatment. “I had a traumatizing situation when I was a kid getting some fillings done. So now knowing that I’m making a difference in these other children’s lives, hopefully they will not fear the dentist when they’re older.”

In her spare time, Becca and her boyfriend enjoy spending time with their two dogs, and they also foster dogs from a rescue in Northbrook. Riding their Harley motorcycle on weekends is another favorite activity. They do some charity rides and fun pleasure rides. She also enjoys hanging out with friends.
