Ludington,MI

Summary

I intend to be a driving force in my community by expanding access to dental care for underserved populations. I understand firsthand the importance of oral healthcare and the financial barriers that often prevent individuals from receiving even the most basic treatments. My experiences have instilled in me a deep commitment to ensuring that quality dental care is not a privilege but a right. Through a career in dentistry, I hope to contribute to meaningful change by improving access, reducing disparities, and promoting better oral health outcomes within my community.
