My educational goals are focused on acquiring the necessary knowledge, skills, and experience to excel in this field, and winning this scholarship would serve as a vital stepping stone in achieving those aspirations. Becoming a dental hygienist is more than just a career choice for me; it's a calling, rooted in my desire to make a tangible difference
I know Rochester like the back of my hand. The roads, the stoplight and most of the warm hearted people that inhabit it.

From preschool to now senior year, Rochester has pushed me to be my best self for my post secondary education. Moving on after high school, I am going to pursue a career in dental hygiene.
Not every seventeen year old can tell you what they plan on majoring in without changing their mind but not me. I’ve always been interested in teeth. I plan on studying Dental Hygiene at Northern Arizona University because I want to be exposed to more than one learning environment. When I receive my bachelors in Dental Hygiene I want to stay in Flagstaff for a couple years and eventually go back to school in order to become a dentist but I would rather be practicing dental hygiene than go to dental school for a long period of time.
After 10 years working as a registered nurse in many aspects of healthcare, felt an overwhelming desire to advance my career and myself to expand my role in caring for others. Becoming a nurse practitioner has always been a goal of mine. During my time working as a nursing manager, I became acutely aware of the need of skilled and talented providers that desire to provide passionate care to all individuals. I became especially concerned with the needs those with limited access to healthcare services. I knew my desire to care for individuals in a more autonomous role and I set out to develop the skills needed to meet the need I witnessed.
As an individual with a passion of stepping into the lives of others during testing times towards making life easier, I am determined to develop a fulfilling career as a nurse practitioner.

My fervor of transforming into an impeccable nursing professional through sharpening my knowledge and skills has inspired me to continue my education.

I look forward to graduating in 2020.
I am interested in your New Graduate Nurse Residency Program. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing from the University of Massachusetts Boston and recently obtained my MA RN license in August 2015. I choose to be an RN because I love learning about the anatomy and physiology of the human body and working with people. When I was a little girl, I would watch the Discovery Health channel instead of watching cartoons. In high school, I became interested in social justice work when I did a month long volunteer service trip to India.
A career as a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner is a natural extension of my personal, educational, and research experiences. Although my path to nursing has not been a straight line, every experience that put me on this path has shaped my passion and dedication to psychiatric nursing. After losing loved ones to suicide at a young age, I made a promise to myself and to them that I would dedicate my life to helping individuals struggling with mental illness. This promise led me to study Psychology at UC Berkeley, where I fell in love with clinical research investigating the efficacy of treatments for mental illness.
For love of cars and Science, I accepted my scholarship for MSc Mechanical Engineering at Queen Mary University of London. Alongside my degree, I was keeping up with my dental receptionist job to support myself financially. I like healthcare system and patient contact and working in a great dental team. I never knew being part of this dental surgery as a receptionist, I could save a life. This incident of saving a life changed perspective of my life and life goals substantially.
When I first started dental work I never knew how much passion it would bring me and so much of it, which I wanted to start my own dental business. The process took about 3 years to actually get known out into the world and to get everything organized to where we could start getting customers. My very first customer I ever had in this building is the same customer that has been with me for 15 years. I started this business back in 2018. It has been the worse and one of the best years of my life.
As a freshman at Dixie State University, I’ll be studying to get my bachelors degree in dental hygiene.

As majoring in dental hygiene, it is a big thing for me and my family.

personal statement Raised in a house by two physicians, I always had a predisposed idea about the profession I would pursue. Observing my father, who is a psychiatrist, and witnessing his passionate attitude toward his patients while diagnosing and reassuring them, has influenced my decision to study dentistry where I can help people and make change to improve their quality of life . I am very dedicated, passionate, and a caring person. I enjoy working in a team environment, and love communicating with others.
Attacking the core of a problem solves not only that problem but others that don’t even seem to be related. Ive always been passionate about making a drastic change in people lives to better them in any way I can. As a kid it would be imagining crazy scenarios where I save people like a superhero, but as we grow older we see that superheroes, as cliché as it may sound, don’t always wear capes. These are the people impacting lives every day by simply using their knowledge to impact other’s lives for the better. This is what I hoped to do with a career in dentistry as I entered my undergraduate career.
My ambition to study for a degree in Dental Hygiene is something that has developed over several years. It all started with a presentation a group of hygiene students did in high school, that allowed me to realize that I wanted to help people by giving them an opportunity to gain self-confidence, by improving the health of their mouth and over all body. My ambition grew when I was completing a dental assistant program, then my interest kept growing the moment I worked as a dental assistant for six months, and realized I can do much more, because I still have this interest in science and on learning.
