- Participated in the "Great Shape! Sealant Project" in Jamaica, where I helped provide dental sealants to children to prevent cavities.

- During my internship as a dental hygiene clinical teaching assistant at Pacific University, I had the opportunity to work closely with dental hygiene students in their clinical practice. My role involved assisting faculty members in overseeing students' clinical procedures, providing guidance on patient care techniques, and offering support in educational activities. Throughout the internship, I observed and provided feedback to students during their patient interactions, helping them improve their communication skills and clinical techniques. I also assisted in organizing and preparing materials for educational sessions, including lectures and hands-on workshops. This experience allowed me to further develop my teaching abilities while gaining a deeper understanding of dental hygiene education and clinical practice. Working directly with students in a clinical setting provided me with valuable insights into the challenges and rewards of teaching dental hygiene, and I found great satisfaction in contributing to the growth and development of future dental professionals.
