Work History

Dental Assistant

Farnaz Farid
San Diego, CA
08.2023 - 06.2024
  • Assisting in a general practitioner's office has provided valuable exposure to a wide range of procedures, such as fillings, crowns, implants, oral surgeries, and Invisalign. Through practical experience, I have become proficient in these procedures and in taking X-rays. Additionally, I have developed skills in making and conditioning crowns in a lab, making impressions and pouring stone models, and effectively guiding and communicating with patients.

Student Volunteer

UCSD PreDental Society
San Diego, CA
05.2022 - 07.2024
  • Began my dentistry journey in student-run free clinics, starting as a chairside assistant and X-ray technician and gradually learning all aspects of the field. After joining the management team, my leadership skills have been honed and demonstrated. I prepared surgical trays and sterilized instruments afterward. My responsibilities then shifted to coordinating between volunteers, patients, and doctors, addressing any needs to ensure each clinic session ran smoothly.

Dental Shadowing

Anthony John Haircare
San Diego
05.2023 - 08.2023
  • During my time at the practice, I observed various endodontic procedures. I also got acquainted with administrative responsibilities, including answering phones and managing patient charts. This experience was pivotal in providing me with a view of dentistry in an office setting. It emphasized the importance of mastering both clinical, interpersonal, and administrative duties, shaping my perspective on the comprehensive nature of the profession. Shadowing in a private practice broadened my understanding of dental specialties, and I am excited to learn more about what each specialty can offer.

Volunteer

Father Joe's Villages
San Diego, CA
05.2024 - 06.2024
  • Despite the beauty of our community, many residents face significant challenges with housing and food insecurity. As a volunteer at Father Joe's Villages, refuges for the homeless, I dedicated myself to improving community welfare through collaborative efforts. My primary role was in the kitchen, where I prepared and served meals. I interacted directly with residents to tailor their trays according to their preferences, ensuring minimal food waste. This volunteer experience has been deeply fulfilling, strengthening my commitment to serve and understand all community members.
