Passionate About:

My passion for dentistry is rooted in the fear of dentistry itself. As a child, I found comfort in going to my childhood doctor, Dr. Barnes, who was gentile, supporting, and enthusiastic about me as a patient. It hurts me deeply to see patients fear the clinicians that brought me so much joy. Especially abroad, the fear of dentistry is inescapable but not unconquerable. Please consider supporting my passionate effort to provide unmatched dental care and comfort to those who fear the dentist the most. It is my greatest calling in life, and your support means the world to me. Thank you!

Join Virginia Tech on their Dental Outreach Internship to Peru this Winter! interns will have the opportunity to learn about various dental procedures, such as cleanings, restorations, fillings, and extractions, learn about the current healthcare system in Peru and teach a public health class and much more! If you’re interested in joining, contact us for more information!

VAW Global at VT will be opening up mobile dental clinics for local communities during their time in Peru.

One of the most exciting and important parts of interning with VAW Global is bringing full dental clinics and primary care medical clinics to the less fortunate. In 2019, VAW Global treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2020. One of the things that make our dental mobile clinics unique is that we are able to perform multiple procedures including fillings, restorations, cleanings and extractions at the mobile clinic. Fundraising for supplies and medications is a huge part of creating a successful mobile clinic to help the local communities with effective care.

**Note: airfare goal will be updated once flights are purchased, tentatively the week of [put week that your team’s tickets will be purchased, October 3 - 9, 2021]
