#tbt to August 2019, our last Global Service Learning trip to the Dominican Republic. Covid has since shut down these outreach programs but we all remain hopeful that they will eventually be restored. In the meantime, the memories of repairing handpieces with Dr. Theodore will just have to sustain us.

Favorite thing(s) about Tufts and/or Boston? I am inspired, supported, and uplifted by the community at Tufts and that has meant a lot to me as I navigate a new chapter of my life in a new city. I feel really lucky to have the resources and opportunities at Tufts to grow into the well-rounded dental providers we all aspire to be. My favorite thing about Boston is the mix of cultures and history that make Boston the unique city that it is.
Fun Fact(s) about yourself and/or hobbies? Art has always been a part of my life growing up and now it's my favorite way to relax and create space for myself. I also love hiking and spending time outdoors!

Hometown: Worcester MA
Favorite thing(s) about Tufts and/or Boston? My favorite thing about Boston is Fenway Park. I had a chance to get to a baseball game with my Tufts VIP family recently and just had such a blast! Also, the food scene is great here and I look forward to trying many more restaurants! I also really enjoy the Commons. It is so peaceful to just sit and people watch with a cup of coffee.
Fun Fact(s) about yourself and/or hobbies? My favorite things to do are gardening, baking, and playing with my dog. I love spending time with my family since they are only in Worcester and my friends from school around here. I also love introducing my husband to Boston since he isn’t from here. I haven’t lived in MA for the last 10 years so it has been great to be back!

Favorite thing(s) about Tufts and/or Boston? At Tufts I enjoy being surrounded by supportive, ambitious and understanding individuals, who inspire me to step out of my comfort zone. Amongst the diversity and abundant opportunities, I appreciate the emphasis that TUSDM places on mind and body wellness. It has taught me the importance of a balanced lifestyle. Outside of Tufts, a few of my go to's in Boston are going out to eat with friends, summer activities by the water and last but not least, self-care days at the salon because it's a must as a dental student.
Fun Fact(s) about yourself and/or hobbies? I was born and raised in Barbados and moved to the US when I was 16yrs old. In addition to my culture, I've always enjoyed learning about Spanish culture. During undergrad I chose to minor in Spanish to improve my fluency and I had an amazing experience studying abroad in Madrid.

Favorite thing(s) about Tufts and/or Boston? Living in Boston has been such a great adventure to explore the rich history of the area, and the amazing landscapes, lakes, rivers and beaches. Being able to go to Tufts and have my name associated with such a tradition of excellence is a real treat. I love how they are training us not only to be great Dentists, but great people and leaders in the community.
Fun Fact(s) about yourself and/or hobbies? I really enjoy running, cycling, playing baseball, or really any kind of outdoor sports. I enjoy singing and playing the piano, but my favorite thing is being able to do all of those things with my wife and daughters. That’s true happiness.

The day has finally come where I am officially a dental student! Wow, I can’t believe this day has finally come. At the start of this Instagram account, I was a pre-dental student trying to navigate the application portal and not knowing if I would have a successful cycle. And here I am sitting in one of the seats at dental school!
The entire week of orientation felt like I was in a dream and had to keep reminding myself that this was real. The energy from my classmates was crazy and I could tell each one of us worked hard to get to this point. I know we’ll succeed to become amazing dentists 🙆🏻♀️
Of course, the first class was clinical anatomy and I’m already overwhelmed 😂 (I went to the library three times already and made friends with the security guard hahaha I will definitely be there often). I used to study here for the DAT so it feels surreal to be studying actual dental school material in the same seat 😱 I’m afraid, excited, and nervous but truly so grateful to be part of the class of 2025. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else hehe
So here’s to another 4 years in Boston and to year 1!
Peep our class scrub color wine 🍷 what’s even more special is that one of my friends who graduated from Tufts Dental, this was her class color hehe

Given the fickle nature of the pandemic and recent uptick in transmission of the delta variant, most instruction, including today's lectures, will still be remote—I just wanted to show off my new scrubs. Also included is my actual #ootd.
Lots of fun and smiles were shared amongst the members through the outdoor sea kayaking tour as they explored a former military fort built in the 1860s. The day ended with a social at a local brewery!
Huge thanks to asdadistrict1 for organizing this terrific event and your commendable efforts! #tuftsasda #bewellasda #tusdm
And like that I’m almost done with my first month of Endodontics residency and it has been one of the BUSIEST months ever🥵
We basically hit the ground running since day 1. Full days of zoom classes with all the post-graduates, Intro to Endodontics filled with loads of clinical information with squeezed in sessions of assisting PGY2 and practicing on extracted teeth using microscopes🔬
A good word we’ve been using to describe our lives is “bootcamp”. Bootcamp of all the possible information that we’ll need before starting clinic & 1.5 hrs of zoom classes to re-learn some of the classes we took in dental school in less than 6 weeks… Ppt slides are accumulating exponentially as I speak😬
I get a planner every year and I basically haven’t really used one for last 2-3 years and now it’s COMPLETELY FILLED with assignments, presentations, exams and possible lecture captures (because I zoned out after first half of the zoom classes😶🌫️)
But the classes are coming to an end by early August and we had our chairemony! (yes we get our very own operatories!💺)
Soon we’ll be seeing patients!🤓🦷
Didn’t have much of a summer but it’s all worth it🥰 (it rained all of July in Boston anyways😂🥲) Hopefully we’ll all get to enjoy August a little more😎💖

Words can not explain how excited I am to start at Tufts. It has been a long journey, but my steps are guided by God and I’ve not been steered wrong thus far!🙏🏾 On to the next chapter! ✨

Preparing for my first patient last night, I prayed to God that everything would go smooth today… a few minutes into my prayer I changed my request to— I pray that no matter what I’m faced with, I handle it with grace and confidence. Everything can go “wrong,” but that’s how you learn and grow, and I’m completely fine with a little character building. God is working. He placed some amazing people in my life to tackle this journey with. MAN, I’m just filled with so much gratitude 👩🏽⚕️🤍

Favorite Thing about TUSDM/Why you chose Tufts: It's exhausting when you're not being yourself. From the interview, I knew I wanted to go to Tufts because I didn't have to pretend to be someone else. Students and faculty truly want to get to know who you are. Whether it's Mrs. Maria greeting you on the 6th floor after a long day in pre-clin or getting to catch up with classmates, Tufts truly promotes a familial experience!
Fun Fact About yourself/Things involved in outside of School: Fun fact — I've lived in four different continents. Other fun facts — When I'm not in school, I enjoy exploring and traveling around town (especially by checking out the best spots to eat). Whether it's playing an instrument (piano/clarinet) or going to concerts/shows, music has always been a big part of my life.
