D I EGO
Motivated pre-dental undergraduate student at the University of San Diego pursuing a double major in Chemistry and Philosophy with a minor in Biology. I am passionate about building meaningful connections with others and hope to pursue a career in dentistry that combines science, service, and compassionate patient care. Through over six years of experience as a private swim instructor, as well as roles as a nanny, café team member, and certified lifeguard, I have developed strong communication skills and a genuine love for helping people feel comfortable, supported, and cared for. Working closely with children and families has taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of creating positive experiences in sometimes stressful situations. I am eager to gain hands-on experience in a dental office where I can continue learning, contribute positively to a team, and further explore my passion for dentistry and patient care. PRIVATE NANNY
