I am currently in my 1st year at UNL in Pre-Health on the track of dental hygiene. I am from Lincoln, Nebraska, and I've lived here basically my whole life. Even though I was born in Cairo, Egypt, I moved here at 5 months old. I've always been interested in health and anything health/science related because those are my strongest suites, I would say I especially was interested in dental hygiene because I think that keeping your teeth healthy and clean and your overall mouth health is super important, and not a lot of people seem to understand that or they overlook it. I want to be able to help give people beautiful shiny teeth and help them feel confident about their smiles and teeth because we are all meant to smile!
I worked with middle schoolers in the summer last year for about 4 weeks as a TA. We had middle schoolers from different schools all over Lincoln, and it was such a joy working with them! I worked specifically with the STEM aspect of the program, so the actual teacher would have the kids doing activities and building things to really bring out their creativity, and it was so cool to see what they would do!
