Intern at The Smile Express Pediatric Dentistry & Family Orthodontics
I am a senior Public Health student at Rutgers interested in pursuing a career in dentistry. Throughout my college career I have been a part of several organizations including Alpha Phi Omega and F.I.M.R.C. (Foundation for the International Medical Relief of Children). I am serving as the vice president of F.I.M.R.C and I hope to utilize and develop my acquired leadership skills within the workplace as well. In order to establish a strong background in both public health and medicine, I plan to explore unique opportunities in the healthcare industry. I am seeking jobs in the field of public health prior to dental school.

The practice features state of the art equipment with digital X-rays, and is a paperless office.The office focuses on preventative care to help infants, children and teens grow a healthy smile that will last a lifetime. 

Interning at a pediatric dental office has allowed me to understand standard office protocol and policy that must be applied when working with dental treatment plans, insurance information, and scheduling. Communication with patients regarding procedures and financial planning is a critical aspect of my work and through it I am able to apply my background in health education to dentistry. Acquiring knowledge about various types of treatment and dental insurances has exposed me to the business side of dentistry and I have learned how each patient presents a different case both inside and outside of the operatory.

Smile Dental Care
Smile Dental Care is a general dentists office devoted to comprehensive and preventive patient care. It specializes in crowns, bridges, cosmetic Dentistry, root canal treatment, and dental implants. 
As an assistant I would directly participate in patient care and perform laboratory and office duties. I learned about the steps and dental instruments necessary for various procedures in order to assist the dentist; I utilized my knowledge of the unique purpose of every instrument to hand tools and materials to the dentist and maintain a neat and orderly work area while recognizing when the dentist would need a particular instrument during treatment. Additionally, throughout procedures I would use the suction hoses to keep patients’ mouths dry and at the end, instruct patients in proper oral hygiene.  

•Assisted dentist chairside with suction, fillings, and crown prep and delivery.    
Sanitized and sterilized all equipment and determines which instruments are required. 
•Maintained patient’s records and medical history, managed equipment for entire practice.

The primary responsibilities I had as a medical assistant were recording vital signs, including body temperature and blood pressure, and documenting a complete medical history of every child. By communicating each unique case with Dr. Janusz prior to examination and physically assisting her with immunization of infants I was able to establish collaborative skills in a clinical setting.

Throughout the day I would also contact pharmacies, track vaccine inventory, and collect copayments.

Public Health
Alphi Phi Omega- I volunteered 50 hours every semester for various events which aimed towards helping the community and nation. Through many of the fraternity’s projects I was able to work with countless local and national organizations and non-profits and assist with specific volunteering initiatives.

FIMRC-Through FIMRC I assumed a role as a leader to head a notable non-profit organization on a mission to bring improved healthcare to communities in the developing world. As vice president, I planned all club meetings and events which would help fundraise for a project based in Peru that focused on preventing malnourishment and anemia. Some events I coordinated are a charity ball, volleyball tournament, local tutoring program, and coffeehouse. In planning, I had to maintain contact with various organizations, utilize social media platforms to promote events, and organize documentations regarding catering and entertainment.

https://www.linkedin.com/company/ronald-mcdonald-house-charities
During my first collaborations with the Ronald McDonald house, I worked to create a poster which artistically displayed the cause of the foundation to provide a temporary home for families of seriously ill children receiving care at local hospitals. I prepared cookies and other baked goods for the children and families staying at the house. Another role I have assumed within the organization is that of a pop tab collector. The goal was to collect aluminum pop tabs for recycling so the house can receive money for every pound of aluminum can tab tops collected.
