Summary

I'm a highly motivated undergraduate student with my sights set on attending Dental School. Working in a dental office, shadowing Dr. Christiansen & Dr. Slaughter, and attending the PreDental Club meetings have further solidified my interest in dentistry. I want to further my work experience and job shadowing in other dental offices to continue to gain new perspectives.
