Dr. Funny began her career in pediatric dentistry by treating patients in both public health and private practice before coming to University Pediatric Dentistry in 2009. A native of Elmsford, New York, she has grown to love the pace and weather in Charlotte! Dr. Funny was interested in science and in health-related issues even as a child, hoping to pursue a career in health care and make a positive impact on her community.
Her first strides toward becoming a healthcare professional were at Howard University in Washington, DC. At Howard, she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry before returning to New York to further her studies at New York University, where she earned a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree.
As a dental student and later as a pediatric resident, Dr. Funny was very active in local and international dental outreaches. Her outreach interests afforded her opportunities to travel to Jamaica and the Dominican Republic, where she provided much-needed dental care to adults and children in underserved areas. It was through these outreach ventures and her personal experiences that she focused her career path on pediatric dentistry. Dr. Funny has continued her commitment to the underserved both locally and abroad by supporting the Ada Jenkins Dental Clinic, North Carolina Missions of Mercy clinics, and many other dental outreach initiatives.
Dr. Funny currently holds memberships in the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, the North Carolina Association of Pediatric Dentistry, the American Dental Association, the National Dental Association, and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. Locally, she actively participates in the Old North State Dental Society and Sharon L. Holley Study Club. Dr. Funny is a Board Certified pediatric dentist and has earned the distinction of becoming a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. She is also proud to be a third-generation small business owner, deeply passionate about both her practice and the families she has the privilege of serving.
A Mother, a Dentist, and a Practice OwnerBecoming a mother was a huge game-changer in how she practices and how she chooses to run her business. Her personal experiences as a wife and mother have undoubtedly made her a better pediatric dentist all around. The culture at University Pediatric Dentistry embodies her core principles: a healthy environment, mutual respect, professionalism, and collegiality. Her goal is to deliver excellent patient care with exceptional customer service, and the team takes tremendous pride in making each child’s experience with us a positive one. When she is not treating patients, she enjoys reading, traveling, volunteering, and spending time with her husband, children, family, and friends.
