Goals and interests
- Career goal
Upon graduation from Purdue University, I plan to pursue dental school. I will be taking a year off of school due to the requirements and prerequisites that are required to apply to dental schools. During my time off, I will be working with an oral surgeon as a dental assistant while also shadowing general dentists to gain experience. My first choice of dental school is Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis. Upon acceptance, I will complete my four years of schooling and become certified to practice in the state of Indiana. My overall goal after dental school is to attend an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery residency. This will further my education while using my dental degree. Upon completion of the residency, I want to work with trauma patients or patients with facial deformations.
