Her training began at Hagerstown Community College, after which she became DANB certified and has since acquired numerous other certifications. While Pediatrics is her speciality of choice, she also has experience working in Oral Surgery, Adult, and Cosmetic Dentistry.

Often children are afraid of the dentist, and Angi always takes extra time to communicate with them and make them feel better with her funny conversation, finding a good TV show to distract them, or comforting them by playing with stuffed animals. Angi says that the most rewarding part of her job is having a child return for a second visit excited and with a smile on their face. Then she knows she has made a positive impact on their life. Angi is a mother of two, and credits a lot of her communication abilities and patience to her experience in parenting.

In her spare time she enjoys playing board games with her family and attending Victory Baptist Church. She also makes sure she spends as much time as she can with her grandbabies!
