Laurena

I can eat breakfast all day. Pancakes, corn cakes, potatoes, breakfast sandwiches. Carbs forever!

The gardens! I love walking/biking around Portland neighborhoods and seeing the variety of flowers and plants everywhere. Everything grows here! I don’t know anything about growing vegetables and if I can grow a tomato plant, anyone can.

Animal welfare, social justice, mutual aid, community.

I really love learning about the connection between oral health and whole-body wellness. I also wanted to provide judgment-free care to those who have a history of traumatic dental experiences or historically have felt self conscious about their oral health. I love to help people hate dental visits a little bit less.

Pre-covid I loved muay thai boxing. Pre-pregnancy I loved roller skating (poorly) with my friends. Currently my favorite thing is drinking fancy coffee on a slow morning with my cute family & pets! I love birdwatching and sunny days at a river, beach, or soaking pool!

Although I like watching sports, I never do. We love to host UFC nights, though!

My most listened to artists are Sigur Ros, Grizzly Bear, Fleet Foxes, Fiona Apple.
