About
I am starting my second semester in the Dental Hygiene program at the University of Texas Health Science Center School of Dentistry. My first semester, I built a strong academic foundation while balancing leadership, service, and hands-on clinical experience. I finished with a 3.35 GPA while serving as Secretary of my class and a member of the Student National Dental Association (SNDA). In addition, I work part-time as a dental assistant, which allows myself real-world patient care to help deepen my understanding. Through this journey, I have discovered a genuine passion for learning and personal growth. Dental hygiene school is the beginning of a lifelong pursuit of learning, leadership, and service. I bring resilience, purpose, and an unwavering belief that I have much to contribute to this profession and to the world. This is just the start, and I am very excited for my future!

I will begin as a dental hygienist when I graduate in 2027. I am excited to teach patients about the importance of the mouth body connection and maintaining their oral health. I am also very open to returning to school in the future, I don't believe in limiting myself in any capacity. I am interested in law school as well as possibly medical school. I am 29 years old, and I'm lucky to have the privilege to learn and choose any career path at anytime and plan to take full advantage of that.
