I am currently a junior pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a pre-dental focus. Growing up with hardworking single parents taught me resilience and compassion, which drive both my academic and personal goals. As a licensed dental assistant, I’ve gained hands-on experience while working during school breaks to fund my education and prepare for dental school. I’m passionate about making dental care accessible to underserved communities and helping people feel confident through healthy smiles. Outside of academics, I dedicate time to community service, club leadership, and mentoring, and I enjoy baking, photography, and expressing my creativity through art.
