Additional Information
Work in a practice that fosters collaborative learning and continuing education
I was born and raised in Ecuador and moved to the US for college. I am fluent in both English and Spanish. I attended the University of Miami for my undergraduate degree and completed a Masters in Biomedical Science at Rutgers University. During my masters program, I conducted research with the department of Family Medicine. My research consisted of intervention strategies for cancer screenings in the Hispanic population. This opportunity gave me a particular perspective of the tremendous value of preventative and educational interventions.I graduated from the University of New England College of Dental Medicine (UNE CDM) in 2023. As a dental student, I was president of the Hispanic Student Dental Association in which we were able to raise money for non-profit organizations in Maine, such as Mano en Mano. I received the Deans Leadership award in 2022. I'm currently a dental resident at the Togus VA Maine Healthcare Hospital AEGD and will be finishing in July 2024. I aspire to continue to shape my professional competency, confidence and commitment to my dental career as well as be part of a community that welcomes and fosters collaborative learning and self-improvement.Aside from dentistry I enjoy spending time with my husband Elijah (who is also a dentist) and our dog Enzo. We love hiking and being outdoors. In my free time I enjoy reading, yoga, weightlifting and watching a good movie.
