Passionate About:

Hi everyone! I am currently a student at Wright State University doubling majoring in Physiology & Neuroscience and Psychology on a pre-dental track. I have been in the dental field for almost four years now and am pursuing to continue my journey in it. I am passionate about advocating for others, particularly in underserved communities. I care deeply about improving the well-being of individuals who might not have access to necessary dental resources. My passion branches from wanting to make a difference in the lives of those who face significant barriers in healthcare. I am a first generation daughter to immigrant parents and personally know what it is like to face significant barriers in accessing healthcare. I am motivated by the desire to give back and empower people through receiving proper oral health.
