Passionate About:

Hello my name is Olivia Lopez, I am currently a senior and the Vice President of the VAW at UTSA. I am passionate about people and helping those in need. I am a heartfelt individual who would like to pursue a career in the dental field. My passion has always been to travel to third world countries to provide dental work; especially after I obtain my doctorate degree in dental. I have always felt strongly about helping others obtain a better health and a positive outlook on life. I hope through dental outreach Guatemala I will be able to continue to help people and expand my cultural surroundings as well as getting closer to my dream of becoming a dentist.

Upcoming Initiatives

UTSA Dental Team B Internship to Dominican Republic, July 2025

 Join UTSA Team B on their Dental Outreach Internship to the Dominican Republic this Summer! interns will have the opportunity to learn about various dental procedures, such as cleanings, restorations, fillings, and extractions, learn about the current healthcare system in the Dominican Republic and teach a public health class and much more! If you’re interested in joining, contact us for more information! VAW Global at UTSA Team B will be opening up mobile dental clinics for local communities during their time in the Dominican Republic. One of the most exciting and important parts of interning with VAW Global is bringing full dental clinics and primary care medical clinics to the less fortunate. In 2023, VAW Global treated over 17,500 patients and we aspire to treat over 20,000 in 2024! One of the things that make our dental mobile clinics unique is that we are able to perform multiple procedures including fillings, restorations, cleanings and extractions at the mobile clinic. Fundraising for supplies and medications is a huge part of creating a successful mobile clinic to help the local communities with effective care. **Note: airfare is NOT included
