Passionate About:

As a Dental Assistant and previous Assistant Manager of a Dentistry I am incredibly passionate about healthy teeth. I have assisted over 22 different doctors in dental surgical procedures and I have helped train countless dental assistants in those procedures and dental radiology. I am Certified in Non IV Conscious Sedation Monitoring, Prophylaxis Cleanings, and Sealant placement. My goal in life is to help children and adults in pain from abscessed teeth and to help prevent them. I hope to become a Doctor in Dental Surgery within the next few years.

About Us

The University of Texas at El Paso is a chapter of Global Medical Brigades, an international movement of students and medical professionals working alongside local communities and staff to implement sustainable health systems. We work in remote, rural, and under resourced communities in Honduras, Panama, Nicaragua and Ghana who would otherwise have limited to no access to health care. Each community receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are provided access to healthcare and volunteers deliver public health workshops. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends. nnIn conjunction with our Medical Program, Global Brigades also supports communities with economic development, sanitation and clean water projects, and uniquely implements these programs in a holistic model to meet a community’s health and economic goals. Our model systematically builds community ownership and collaboratively executes programs with the end goal of sustainably evolving to a relationship of impact monitoring.
