Initially, I had my heart set on becoming a physician, but on my first attempt was rejected by the many schools I applied to. My fear of uncertainty and having to reapply and be rejected for years led me to settle for dental school, something I went into blindly and second guessed from the beginning. Watch the short clip below:

However it was afterwards that I discovered oral medicine, a field that perfectly combined my interests in both medicine and dentistry.

My journey highlights the importance of staying open to new possibilities and finding purpose in whatever path life takes you. It has led me to a career in practice, educating and academics beyond anything I could have every imagined.

In the latest episode of the Stellar Success Podcast, I had the pleasure of sharing my story and insights with my friend and partner, Dr. Tudor Francu.

Beyond Professional Success

Over the years, my definition of success has evolved. While professional achievements are important, I’ve come to realize that balance, mindfulness, personal well-being and community are what matters more. To me, success is about being the best version of yourself—not just in your career, but in your personal life as well.

Financial Literacy and Mindful Living

I also shared my experiences with the quest for financial independence, real estate investing and my passion for educating young professionals and colleagues about financial literacy.

Creating multiple income streams and investing in yourself are essential for anyone looking to secure their future and achieve financial freedom.
