Phoenix, AZ
I am a dental student who loves enjoying life while creating new smiles. Born and raised in the town of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. At a young age, I learned the value of working hard, caring for one another, and keeping one's word. I worked 40 - 50 hours a week during my summers in high school to afford the costs of college. I completed my BA in Biology/Chemistry from Lock Haven University in 2017. I earned several awards and scholarships during my undergraduate career for high marks and leadership roles on campus.
Dentistry has the power to improve health, boost confidence, and make you feel great. I knew it was the career for me when I witnessed this firsthand while shadowing. After college, I applied and was accepted into Midwestern University's DMD program in Glendale, AZ.
I continued receiving high marks throughout school while challenging myself to higher leadership positions and giving back to the community. I planned numerous lunch and learn events as an ASDA vendor representative and fundraised over $35,000 for community service and leadership opportunities. As president of the business club, we held events for students to learn more from the experiences of local dentists and faculty.
