UConn School of Dental Medicine

Growing up in the Caribbean, I saw first hand many of the health care and policy issues that plague the rest of the developing world but this allowed me to see dentistry as a way to help others. I received my Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry at Florida A&M University, but College was a difficult adjustment academically and socially. To help with my adjustment to college, I participated in numerous mentoring, tutoring and community programs. Working in the community inspired me as I was able to see a real need that I could be the one to fill it. Though I have entered a totally different world at UCHC, I feel at home with UST as I am interacting with dynamic people and getting hands on experience which has expanded my world view as I have been introduced to policy, planning and more leadership opportunities.
