Passionate About:

I am currently attending The University of Missouri to earn a Bachelors Degree in Health science with a Minor in Spanish. While I am studying Health Science, I hope and pray to become more knowledgeable about Healthcare. My overall goal is to become a General Dentist by going on to Dental School at The University of Missouri Kansas City. I want to impact Oral Healthcare by promoting and advocating for oral health in society.

Michigan State University Dental Internship to Dominican Republic, December - January 2025



Volunteer Activity Description

Join Michigan State University on their Dental Outreach Internship to Dominican Republic 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 Dominican Republic and teach a public health class and much more! If you’re interested in joining, contact us for more information!

VAW Global at Michigan State University will be opening up mobile dental clinics for local communities during their time in Dominican Republic.

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 2023, VAW Global treated over 17,500 patients and we aspire to treat over 20,000 in 2024! 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.
