I was awarded student of the year back in 2014, and I knew I was headed in the right direction. What makes me excited is that I am able to meet and speak with a vast array of people and provide oral care. I believe I excel at communicating on a one-on-one basis, and this will be perfect for me.

I am about to embark on a whole new journey into the dental profession. I am thrilled to make a difference in people’s lives, learn new techniques and continue to further my education.

The social aspect is a big factor that drew me to this career, and it still is a big motivator. I would consider myself a social person, and I'm very excited to get to talk to all kinds of different people and get to know them and their experiences.

I knew I wanted to help people; I knew that was why I was put on this earth. I’m excited and really happy to be able to use the tools that have been given to me so that other people can feel better about themselves or feel educated or be healthier.

I’ve always enjoyed just talking to people, taking care of people, helping people out. I don’t like being glued to a desk all the time. I want to be with other people. You get another person to yourself for a whole hour, and that’s exactly what I’m looking for in my profession.
