What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to grow in a supportive environment, focusing on patient care and community service.

As a hardworking senior chemistry student at North Carolina A&T State University, I have developed a strong foundation in both academic and practical aspects of healthcare. My dedication to volunteering is evident through my active participation in the USNDA, where I engage in workshops and community outreach, teaching younger children about oral health and providing essential support to families in need.

In addition to my volunteer work, I am currently involved in undergraduate research, focusing on CRISPR and SSDNA polymerizations. Presenting my findings at symposiums has honed my communication skills and deepened my understanding of the scientific process. I am eager to leverage my research experience and passion for dentistry to provide excellent healthcare and ensure patient comfort.
