I'm ecstatic for the opportunity to be a NNOHA ambassador in the hopes of educating more dental students about the opportunities and advantages of having a dental career in the community health center setting and debunking any preconceived notions or misconceptions that dental students have about this practice modality. Not only is a community health center setting truly rewarding, but it addresses a lot of the concerns that new dental graduates have today, such as student loan repayment. I also welcome the opportunity to connect with other dental directors in New York to help connect them to needed resources, enhance their sense of collaboration and community as a NNOHA member, and create a strong network of dental directors in New York State.
