• Dental Shadowing Experience | 80+ hours

Completed more than 80 hours of shadowing in addition to practicum requirements across multiple dental settings, including periodontics, oral surgery, and general dentistry. These experiences provided valuable exposure to different approaches to patient care and strengthened my understanding of the importance of communication, professionalism, and compassionate treatment in building trust and promoting positive patient experiences.

• Dental Health Drive

Led and supported a community dental health drive in partnership with dental offices in Oxford and Phi Mu to collect and distribute dental care products to the community. This initiative deepened my appreciation for the importance of preventive oral health, community engagement, and improving access to basic dental resources for individuals and families who may face barriers to care.
