What drew you to the profession?
I was pre-med as an undergrad and knew I wanted to do something in healthcare, so I explored almost every health career under the sun. During this time, I was fortunate to speak with two sisters who were family friends—one was a dentist, and the other was an MD. As I was shadowing the MD, she told me if she could do it all over again, she would do what her sister did and become a dentist. This changed my trajectory. Dentistry was a place where I could connect with people, draw from my creativity, be a leader, and impact health.
