    SWEETU

    Registered Dental Hygienist

    Sweetu was born in Queens, New York, but having lived in California since the age of 5 she is every bit a California girl. She received her Bachelor of Science from the University of California, Irvine in 1999, and Bachelor of Dental Hygiene in 2002 from the University of California, San Francisco.

    Away from the office, Sweetu enjoys cooking (getting inspiration from the Food Network), traveling anywhere warm, and working out so that she is able to keep up with her son. Sweetu is a thrill seeker and loves to fill the void with amusement park rides. The softer side of her enjoys music, podcast, and quality time with friends and family.
