What made you want to earn your DDS?
When I was in high school I shadowed my dentist and loved the atmosphere of dentistry and the science behind it.
Explain a dental school experience you will never forget.
Throughout dental school I went through a lot of loss and I couldn’t thank the amazing friends I gained over the years enough for being there for me. I have definitely made life long friends and I’m beyond grateful!
What are you excited for next?
And just like that my 8 years at WVU is over. Pursuing dentistry has been the best decision I’ve ever made and I can’t wait to see what the future of dentistry holds. Thank you WVU!
