Community Service, Volunteerism

Mission Trips

I was fortunate enough to travel to Tecate, Mexico with Dr. Xavier J Gutierrez, DDS and the New Covenant Church on a Mission Trip to treat the ~70 orphans and staff members. Dr. Gutierrez leads his team every Memorial Day and next year I plan on going with him again as a dentist to help ease the load. I am so excited and cannot wait!

Pre-Dental Club

As mentioned, I was the President of the Pre-Dental Club for a few years and throughout my time, we did hundreds of hours of events all over the Fresno County, while raising thousands of dollars for local nonprofits. We also did many volunteer events like Willow Dental Group's "Give Kids A Smile" where they offered free dental services to over 80 children.

Willow Dental Group

After graduating college, I was so impressed with Willow Group that I joined the practice as the Insurance Specialist and Treatment Coordinator. Willow offers annual free children's day "Give Kids A Smile" and a free adult day "FREE Adult Dental Day" and do many charitable activities like the "Halloween Candy BuyBack" where they buy up to 5 pounds of children's Halloween candy and ship it off to our troops overseas. Upon graduation, I hope to be able to serve at these events along side, Dr. Shawn Anderson and his wife Tracy, and the rest of the Willow Dental Group Team so help serve our community.
