Sara grew up in Colorado Springs, CO. She was 34 years old before discovering she wanted to become a dentist and enrolled in science courses at Mt. SAC. She applied for an Air Force HPSP scholarship and was able to get 3 of her 4 years paid for dental school. In the ’23-’24 year, she was selected to attend an Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) residency program at Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, MS. After that, she will continue serving her 3-year payback to the USAF as a general dentist.

Work with others and ask for help! It is not stronger of anyone to get anywhere in life solo by themselves. You are stronger by working with others as a team. Nobody gets anywhere without building connections. Caduceus did that for me, as I did for others who were willing to receive mentorship and advice.
