Caduceus Club: 2011-2013
Occupation: Dentist

I found my passion for dentistry by first going to my uncle’s dental office and shadowing him. I attended UCLA for my Bachelor’s in Biology, then attended Mt. SAC, and then attended the UCLA School of Dentistry. I moved to New Jersey shortly after graduating, did a one year General Practice Residency at Overlook Hospital. I now work in private practice in Southern New Jersey.

Dr. Rexach and the Caduceus Club have been an essential part of my professional career. The journey would have been much more difficult had it not been for all the resources that she and club provided. It was a great experience as I made a lot of friends, increased my network, and learned a whole lot about not just dentistry but all kind of health professions.

Take it one step at a time! It can be easy to get overwhelmed thinking about all the big and little things you have to do along your journey. Just breathe, take it all in, stay present, ask a lot of questions, and work hard.
