Description

I graduated from NSU Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences in 2005. My initial interest in the medical field began with Veterinary medicine. As an undergraduate student at NSU I was planning on going to medical school. It was not until I spent a summer studying in Spain, that I started to think of other career options like Dental medicine. My path to becoming a Dentist was not a straight-line path. I took time off to travel, I applied multiple times, and I got a Masters in Biomedical sciences, and completed my doctorate degree in May of 2014. I am currently a practicing dentist here in Miami, Florida. This presentation will highlight some insights and stories I had on my non-traditional path to becoming a Dentist, and some of the key lessons I learned along the way to reaching my career goals.
