life I have been a go-getter. I graduated from high school at 16 because I was eager to begin my college education. Currently I am working on dual Bachelor degrees. One will be in Biochemistry and the other will be in Psychology. The same personality trait that has allowed me to graduate from high school early, pursue a dual degree program and many other accomplishments, is what will turn me into a service orientated and dedicated dentist.

One of the things I have pursued as a University of California, San Diego student, is my membership in the campus "For Los Angelitos" club. One of the things we did as a club was to travel to poverty stricken areas and provide lessons about oral hygiene. Equipped with small bags filled with oral care products, we traveled to Tijuana, Mexico where we provided oral care education to the children of the area. Using oversized cardboard teeth and toothbrushes we demonstrated the proper way to brush as well as floss. The children were eager to learn and willing to practice the skills that we taught them. It was then, that I knew, my life's calling was going to be in the field of dentistry.

In addition to this trip, I have spent time giving back to the community with other activities as well. Some of them include serving as a Valencia Library Reading Mentor, and as a teaching assistance for Molecular Biology classes at UC, San Diego.

I know that research is a driving force behind the field of dentistry.

Manual dexterity ability is extremely important in the field of dentistry and I have above average skills in this area as well. My rock climbing experiences have provided the opportunity to develop and strengthen these skills beyond the average person. Rock climbing requires an intense concentration and focus as well as the ability to problem solve on both an intellectual level and a physical level.
