Why did you become a dentist?
I became a dentist because I fell in love with dentistry. I had the opportunity to go to a dental summer enrichment program at the University of Houston during the summer of my junior year of college. I spent 6 weeks in Houston getting to know the faculty and the students at the dental school as they went through their day treating patients. My grandfather was a dentist in Mexico a long time ago so it was something that was always on my radar, but it was that summer that solidified my decision.
Interesting Facts
I came to the US when I was in 7th grade & had to learn english from scratch. I had a friend that was so nice to me, but for 6 months I did not understand a word she said to me yet she still sat with me during lunch. By 8th grade, thanks to my great english second language teacher and wonderful friend, I was already in regular english. I am fascinated with languages and I am currently trying to learn Latin. I love animals and nature and have to have at least 2 pets at a time. I currently have 4 dogs and one very old cat that has been with me since dental school.
