I am passionate about prevention and improving access to oral healthcare. My background includes collecting and analyzing large-scale hospital datasets to identify patterns and underlying causes of injuries and disease. I believe data-driven insights are essential for informing effective policies and clinical practices that strengthen preventative care and promote equitable health outcomes. I aim to carry the analytical and research competencies I develop as an assistant researcher into my dental education, supporting my growth into a thoughtful, evidence-driven dentist.
