SIWON YOON

I am a dedicated dental student with a growing passion for endodontics, applying for a board position in the Endodontic Society to become more actively involved in the field and expand my clinical and technical understanding. I hope to support fellow students by sharing helpful resources, increasing exposure to endodontics, and assisting peers who may be struggling with the didactic or practical components. I’m also eager to grow as a leader by helping organize engaging events, building connections with faculty and residents, and fostering a collaborative learning environment. My previous experience as a board member in the Korean Student Dental Association, combined with practical skills in financial management, budgeting, and strategic planning, has prepared me to contribute meaningfully to the society’s goals and initiatives.
