Dental Hygienist 

I am Megan originally from Fort Lauderdale, FL, but was raised in Atlanta Georgia by my two Caribbean parents. I earned my Bachelor of Applied Science in Dental Hygiene from Atlanta Technical College.

In 2022 I had the privilege to join the Progressive Periodontics team in Fayetteville, GA!

I am committed to providing the utmost care for our patients while creating a comfortable environment and stress-free experience. The most rewarding aspect of my care for patients at Progressive Periodontics is our passion to educate our patients not only on the oral aspect of our health but also on the overarching systemic connection and correlation that exist between our mouths and the rest of our body.

I am honored to have the opportunity to work in such an outstanding practice that prides itself in providing quality service to each and every patient but also a practice that demonstrate their care for their employees as well. It is my goal to make sure our patients receive the best care possible, while also educating them on the importance of oral and systemic health.

Outside of the office I enjoy spending quality time with my husband, daughter and two fur babies, also trying new restaurants in the city of Atlanta, and traveling as much as possible and never take time for granted!
