Goals and interests

Career goal

Upon graduating from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2019, I plan on applying, and then attending dental school. I have wanted to be a dentist since I was in seventh grade. The concentration has changed some, but for a while I have been set on wanting to become a Pediatric Dentist. I have always loved working with kids, so merging my two interests together is ideal for me. I would love to own my own practice.
