Affiliations
• I have played many sports throughout my life which have shaped me in understanding different groups and dynamics. Throughout my K-12 education at Village Christian School I played beach volleyball, basketball, lacrosse, and was also on the cheer team. Outside of school I was a competitive figure skater from age 3-13. These different experiences of both competing with a team and individually helped me understand how to strive when working with others and on my own. I also learned leadership skills through my role as a Senior Team Captain on my lacrosse team. Within my time at Village Christian School I made Principles Honor Roll every year from K-12th and was a member of the National Honors Society all throughout high school.

Current Schooling
- I attended Glendale Community College from 2023-2025 in hopes to transfer to an outstanding 4 year University. With hard work, endless hours of studying, and never ending commitment I was accepted into all 12 school which I had applied to! These schools include; USC, UCLA, UCSB, UCSD, UCSC, UCI, UCD, UCR, UCM, LMU, Pepperdine, and Chapman.
- I am now an Anthropology major on a Pre-dental track at UCLA and hope to continue my education at USC Herman Ostrow Dental School.
Future Additions
- Before officially submitting this resume to a graduate school or as a job application I would like add in more volunteer hours, hands on dental work, and educational achievements. I think adding in both personal and education achievements would help balance my resume and construct a well-rounded image. I currently volunteer at a non-profit dental clinic on Skid Row which helps the homeless, but I would like to broaden my horizons and help more people rather than strictly sticking to one organization. Before I submit this resume to graduate schools/jobs, I also hope to have taken my DAT (which is in two months) and achieved a high score! Adding in a high DAT score would make my chances higher in applying to graduate schools and make me more appealing to certain dental assistant jobs.
