Favorite thing(s) about Tufts and/or Boston? My favorite thing about Tufts is that we have access to sooooooo many resources. Every time I turn around, I’m learning about another beneficial resource.
My favorite thing about Boston most definitely has to be the architecture. My first time in Boston was in 2014 for a graduation and the one thing that constantly stood out was the interesting architecture.
Fun Fact(s) about yourself and/or hobbies? I love my pup, Opal. She really is the dog version of me. I love, love, love, love running and the outdoors. I also put 3 places as my hometown because I was born in New Orleans then moved to CA, but I literally visited/lived in all three places. I have had the beautiful opportunity to be influenced in all ways by all 3 cities as well.

Favorite thing(s) about Tufts and/or Boston? My favorite thing about Tufts is how diverse the class and faculty is. Every time I meet a new classmate or faculty, they shed a new perspective on life and become a part of the mosaic that makes me. My favorite thing about Boston is how it has a little bit of everything! The great food, funky buildings, the Zebra crossing (feels illegal still), kayaking in the summer, and running along the Charles River. Those are just some of things I can think of that I am really loving here!
Fun Fact(s) about yourself and/or hobbies? I have been on the local news in two different states in less than 2 weeks (what can i say, the paparazzi is everywhere 📸). Some hobbies I enjoy doing are gardening, writing poems, crocheting my 6 ft blanket, and hiking!

Favorite thing(s) about Tufts and/or Boston? Everyone, from faculty/staff to the students, comes from widely diverse backgrounds so I'm always able to meet new people and learn new things. The many different student organizations at Tufts offers niches for nearly everyone as well. My favorite things about Boston include the intricate architecture you can find all over the city and the many different bodies of water we're surrounded by!
Fun Fact(s) about yourself and/or hobbies? I picked up piano and guitar again over quarantine after a decade (but ya girl's still got it)! To name a few others: Being outdoors/hiking, digital photography, playing basketball, rollerblading, anything about oceanography–from marine life to ecological conservation 🌊

Favorite Thing about TUSDM/Why you chose Tufts: I've always wanted to go to school in Boston and when I looked into the program at Tufts I feel in love. TUSDM is one big family where everyone wants everyone to succeed. It's a place that has turned into a second home where I am constantly motivated and in awe of my classmates and all their accomplishments both in and out of the classroom. Seeing them succeed only encourages me to succeed.

I love to spend time with my family, read, travel, watch TV, and spend as much time on the ocean as possible.

For Teacher appreciation week we asked our lovely mentor Professor, Dr. Talmo, why she decided to go into teaching. This was her response:
“I teach because I love the profession of dentistry and want to share that enthusiasm with the next generation of dentists. I enjoy working hands on with students in the patient care setting and guiding them through the practice of clinical dentistry, imparting tips and tricks whenever I can. It is with great pride that I witness students evolve in their conceptual understanding and clinical skill level. When I was a dental student I was fortunate enough to have been taught by outstanding faculty members. I was also lucky enough to have my father, Paul Talmo, D56, as a mentor. Surviving the rigors of dental school is enormously challenging. If I can do one thing to lessen that struggle for a student, as my instructors did for me, I feel gratified. And so, in my own way, I also teach to help sustain the legacy of those who came before me and to maintain the Tufts tradition of clinical excellence.” #tuftsdental #teacherappreciationweek #aawd

Favorite thing(s) about Tufts and/or Boston? Even though I'm from California, my parent's grew up here in Boston so it's nice to get to live where they lived! There is so much history in Boston, it' amazing that we get to live in a city that has been around since the 1600s and is still an integral part of so much reform.
Fun Fact(s) about yourself and/or hobbies? Fun Fact about me is that I'm a Tufts Legacy! My maternal grandfather graduated from TUSDM in 1956 and I am proud to be following in his footsteps. Also for hobbies, I really like to paint and scrapbook 🤗

Favorite Thing about TUSDM/Why you chose Tufts: Favorite thing: The sense of community. I feel supported academically and emotionally by my classmates and upperclassmen.
Why I chose Tufts: The diversity and sense of inclusion. Tufts was the most racially/culturally diverse school I interviewed at, and they made me feel that they wanted me to attend instead of me needing to prove myself yet again over the course of the long application process. On my interview day, Tufts made me feel accomplished, appreciated, and wanted.
