Pre-Dental Mentor

Biology B.S (24’) | West Virginia University

As a pre-dental mentor, I aim to communicate with high school students

considering a career in dentistry and share my personal experiences navigating college.

I earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology from West Virginia University in 2024,

graduating Magna Cum Laude with departmental Honors in Biology. Throughout my

three years of college, I led an independent study, conducted research, and completed

an Honors Thesis. These experiences helped me discover my passion for teaching &

research which I hope to further develop during my time in dental school.

While shadowing, I became fascinated with general dentistry, periodontics, and

oral & maxillofacial surgery. I am eager to help other students access shadowing

opportunities and explore areas of healthcare that interest them. Manual dexterity is an

important skill in dentistry, so some of my hobbies include rubik’s cubes, Lego

architecture, ssahng jeol bong, and chess.
