Talia Staiger

UConn School of Dental Medicine

I was born in Manhasset, New York, and grew up in Cromwell, Connecticut. I attended the University of Connecticut for my Bachelor of Science degree in biological sciences, and graduated in 2019.

While at UConn, I competed in cross country, indoor track, and outdoor track, which granted me many opportunities to volunteer through athletics. I loved working and connecting with children from towns and cities in the area surrounding UConn. I also enjoyed a rewarding experience volunteering at the Mansfield Senior Center.
