I am pursuing a career in dentistry because I am fascinated by the structure, development, and health of the human mouth and teeth and I like helping others. The brigade I went on in January 2019 was the best and most humbling experience of my life and I'm so excited to be going on another one. It is a great opportunity to shadow dentists (and doctors) and interact with and patients who are not as fortunate and don't receive the same dental or medical care as we do in the States.
