I really love the culture at UAB. The students really care about each other, and everyone helps each other out. The biggest things I was looking for in a dental school were the clinical exposure and the student atmosphere, and UAB has both.

What's been so valuable is we were able to go into the clinic within weeks of starting here. The faculty has been incredible. They'll tell you what you need to work on, but then they'll sit down with you and help show you how to do it. That just blew me away.

I want to be a general dentist and serve in a rural community. I know what it's like to live in a rural community, and I want to make sure people in those communities have the resources and professionals needed to serve them.

There are lots of very helpful faculty here who want to mentor and teach you. They take the time to help you learn and get the training you need so you can be an independent investigator down the road. There's a lot of strong teamwork.

I did my research and found out that UAB was known as number one health promoting university. It made me think of UAB as an institute that could integrate dentistry, but also bring in the interdisciplinary approach from different schools like medicine and nursing.

The Alabama Schweitzer Fellowship is giving me a really good opportunity to find how I can be helpful and leave an impact on Birmingham during my time here. The cross-collaborations will help shape how I think about service, and then integrate that into my future as a dental professional.
