Life & Career Milestones
My path in life took a while to figure out
1.
I really enjoyed science and whenever I went to the dentist as a kid, I would picture herself in that position. I was also always very good with kids and enjoyed working with them.
2.
I went to medical school but decided that I wanted to work with kids, so I tried being a pediatrician but decided I wanted to do dentistry.
3.
I went to USF to pursue my doctorate degree.

THE NOISE
Messages from Friends:
You won't be able to go through and finish dental school. You can't do it.
How I responded:
I responded by ignoring the Noise. If anything, it helped me keep going because I wanted to prove everyone wrong.
