From Undergrad to Pediatric Dentist

I have always known that my desire to become a dentist came during my childhood. Therefore, during my undergraduate years at NSU I reinforced that desire by participating in many activities related to dentistry, such as volunteering for non-profit organizations as dental assistant, and providing oral hygiene education for underserved communities. By working with patients at that time, I learned many interpersonal aspects of dentistry that are not covered in textbooks, which enhanced my commitment and dedication to this type of work. I could not envision a more rewarding and compassionate career to spend my life by promoting the wellness of others. More than I have ever dreamed of, dentistry has provided a platform for personal growth and professional achievement. I will be happy to share some of the highlights of my profession during my presentation and the path that has led me to this point.
