About

My name is Dawn Maria Roy. I am a OD Candidate for class of 2029. Additionally, I am interested in education and hope to close the barriers that exist within the field. My passion for both education and healthcare has encouraged me to pursue both fields in a way that is helpful to the community as well as myself.
