What made you want to earn your DDS?

When I was in high school I was able to shadow my local dentist, Dr. Martin, for one of my classes. I was able to witness the care and compassion that he brought to his patients. After seeing this, I instantly wanted to pursue a career in dentistry to be able to provide the same care and compassion.

What would you tell someone who is considering WVU School of Dentistry?

I would tell anyone that it is the best decision that you could make! WVU has a small class size so it allows you to have more of one-on-one experience with faculty. I feel like any student that attends WVU School of Dentistry will be graduating with a great education and confident in their clinical abilities.

What are you excited for next?

After completing my education, I am excited to further my education by doing a GPR at the University of Tennessee. I hope to use this experience as a learning opportunity to provide the best possible care that I can for my patients.
