For the April 2026 issue of Inside Dentistry, the annual Implants issue, I conducted a series of interviews with key opinion leaders in dental implants. For the cover story spread, which introduces the interview package, click here.

Inside Dentistry
I wrote the cover story for the January/February 2026 issue of Inside Dentistry. The article explains how new diagnostic tools are poised to change the future of dental care — from the technology itself to the clinical decisions it will influence. Reporting it involved interviewing six experts who are actively shaping where dental technology is headed. If you’re curious how technology is transforming dental care, you can read the full article here.
With this issue of Inside Dentistry, I’ve also stepped into a new role as Managing Editor. It’s a career milestone I’m proud of, and I’m looking forward to writing and editing many more articles.
Trends in Dental Hygiene
The November/December 2025 issue of Inside Dental Hygiene features my latest article, a cover story highlighting the perspectives of seven outstanding dental hygienists. In the article, these experienced professionals share their insights on the current trends, developments, and changes shaping the dental hygiene profession. I enjoyed the opportunity to bring together such a diverse group of voices and explore what they’re seeing in the field today.
You can read the full article in either the digital edition of the magazine or the online version.
Article on Lasers for Inside Dentistry
I wrote my first cover story for Inside Dentistry, about lasers in dental practice. Reporting it involved interviewing five of the country’s top experts, each bringing a different perspective on where laser dentistry is headed.

New job!
I’m now Managing Editor of Inside Dental Hygiene magazine, published by AEGIS Communications, the company behind Inside Dentistry, Compendium, and various other dental industry publications. AEGIS specializes in educational content for oral healthcare professionals. In my new role I’m also writing and editing various special projects, including eBooks.
Among the many positive aspects of my new position, I’m especially thrilled to be working with many talented editors, writers, and sales professionals.
Here’s the cover of the June 2022 issue of Inside Dental Hygiene:
NASDAQ opening
I attended the opening of NASDAQ today, at the TV studio in Times Square. The president of the American Dental Association and principals of Henry Schein Inc. rang the opening buzzer, to commemorate the 18th annual Give Kids A Smile effort to treat and educate underserved children.

Article about what to do in New York for visitors from out of town
Every year I write a “travel story” for our at-show newspaper, Dental Tribune Today, which we publish on-site at the Greater New York Dental Meeting. The article is meant for those who might be coming to the event from out of town and offers some sightseeing ideas.

The 2019 Midwinter Meeting in Chicago
If it’s late February, that means a trip to Chicago for the annual Midwinter Meeting, held by the Chicago Dental Society. As part of the team of editors from Dental Tribune, I helped publish three issues of our at-show newspaper, called “today” — the last two of which were “live” issues that were printed overnight from on site.
My editorial assignments at the event included taking dozens of photographs for our photo gallery, a sample of which is shown directly below. An online version of the photo gallery is published to the Dental Tribune website (direct link here). I also attended a press briefing conducted by Henry Schein Dental and wrote an article (here), and I also attended the annual “Celebration of Smiles” event, held by America’s ToothFairy: National Children’s Oral Health Foundation and wrote about that as well (article here).
We stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn, located directly across the street from McCormick Place. I arrived Wednesday afternoon, worked pretty much all day Thursday and Friday, and flew home on Saturday. There was no time for fun or sightseeing, but here is a picture I took looking out the hotel room window! It’s not the best view, but if you look closely you can see the Willis Tower:
The 2018 dental meeting in New York City
The annual Greater New York Dental Meeting takes place the weekend immediately after Thanksgiving every year — which means those of us who work at Dental Tribune are quite busy. The event features educational classes and hands-on workshops for the thousands of dental professionals who attend from out of town, plus a four-day tradeshow for the latest products and technology. We publish four issues of our at-show newspaper, called “today” — two of which we put together “live” on site, which means home away from home this past week has been the Javits Center!
You can see all four issues of our daily at-show newspaper by clicking here. I took many of the pictures at the event, and I conducted a live interview with a company rep on site about a new product (link to my article here). Our post-show “meeting review” article and photo gallery is here. I am particularly pleased with the way the cover of Issue 3 turned out. If you click the image directly below it will open bigger:
This is such a big meeting that it’s “all hands on deck” for the four Dental Tribune editors, but we were short staffed this year because our group editor is out on maternity leave. After we finished our work for the paper, the three of us who were together for the work event attended the Tuesday night showing of “Phantom of the Opera” on Broadway:
My ‘what to do in New York City’ article for this year’s dental meeting
The annual Greater New York Dental Meeting, which starts this coming weekend at the Javits Center in Manhattan, attracts visitors from across the country and around the world. Therefore every year I write an “out and about” article for visitors to New York from out of town, giving them some ideas on touristy things they can do.
I figured this year I would focus on sites of historical interest having to do with the American presidents, from George Washington to Ulysses S. Grant to Theodore Roosevelt.
The article was published on the Dental Tribune website (link here) — and it was also published in print, in issues 1 and 4 of our annual at-show newspaper, called “today.” If you click on the image of the article directly below, it will open bigger and you can read it:
