"The El Paso community has given me a wealth of diverse, enriching experiences learning and practicing in the clinic. Its population reflects a wide range of cultural backgrounds, dental needs and languages. These qualities have shaped me into a patient-centered, culturally competent clinician—skills I will carry with me throughout my career and life."
