Activities
My passion is to give back to the less fortunate and by assisting and providing within my means and capabilities. I have dedicated the past 8 years to Hope for Tomorrow, a non-profit organization providing free dental care to the community. In June of 2019, I embarked on a 3 week mission with Hope for Tomorrow to Vietnam. We crossed many local facilities and poor villages to provide dental care. During this time, I learned to improvise and work around harsh conditions such as working in the scorching Vietnam heat for 5 hours, constructed benches for patients to receive care, and as well as sterilizing the equipment without an autoclave. Through all the struggles and hard working conditions, it did not stop me from persevering to continue with what I love.
