🧼 Cherishing Chinatown 🎏 as AAPI month started several classmates and I did a block clean up and gardening/replanting across Chinatown. What a fun time! Lots of members from the community were very grateful and some even joined! Can’t wait to do it again!

Throwback to 1956 from Dad’s dental school yearbook, “The Explorer” (haha). “Football hero” and “few, if any, better in Operative work” make him a tough act to follow!

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.

Outside of school: I love hiking, kick-boxing, going on long bike rides, going to the beach, and trying new foods!!

Two years ago, I followed Tufts Endo residents on a six hour drive to Montreal, Canada to attend AAE19. At first, I definitely didn’t know if I should tag along and if my interest in Endo was enough to give me the right to attend this annual global meeting. But what I thought would be 3 long days of me trying to see where I fit absolutely flew by and I loved every bit of it – getting to know the residents more🥰, going to chic brunch places🍳, sharing two plates of poutine and feeling disgusting at a very late hour🤢, all the free food and🍺🥂🍸🥃(like all day everyday🥸)…But don’t get me started on those creepy ostrich skeleton thingys🤨 (still quite confused about that performance..🙄)
But to see people from all over the WORLD come together not in Hawaii or Miami but in MONTREAL in APRIL despite freezing cold and rain just to share their love and passion towards Endodontics and unite under the slogan of “Worth saving” was worth attending🤓
Hopefully next year I will be in Phoenix, Arizona for AAE22 and be introduced not as an Endo intern but as an Endo resident😎🔬

Favorite thing(s) about Tufts and/or Boston? You’ll always hear TUSDM students talking about the richness of diversity in our classes and that’s because it truly is one of the most beautiful things about our school! I feel lucky to be surrounded by fellow peers and faculty that take you as you are, but are there because they want to see you grow to be even better. Through every interaction I’ve had at school thus far, no matter how brief, I always leave feeling that my cup is a little more full.
Fun Fact(s) about yourself and/or hobbies? I love a good workout – spin, yoga, HIIT, and strength training! If I’m not super sweaty after (is that TMI, I don’t know), it wasn’t worth it. It’s always so fun seeing fellow classmates at the gym, too!
Pre-COVID, I sang in my church choir and played the clarinet for ten years! And when I’m REALLY free, I find time to open a book to read or even write if I’m feeling inspired.

Favorite thing(s) about Tufts and/or Boston?
A few things that stand out to me about Tufts is the genuine diversity, promotion of mind-body wellness practices and the commitment to global leadership in oral health. My favorite thing about Boston is that it's such a walkable city. I love going for walks during my study breaks. Whenever I take off from either the school or library, it feels like an adventure every time and I always find myself discovering something new.
Fun Fact(s) about yourself and/or hobbies?
Fun Fact about me is that I studied abroad in Spain for a semester to become fluent in Spanish. I grew up with a Spanish last name due to my Cuban roots but never spoke the language, so I made it my duty to learn and fully embrace my identity. Speaking of identity, I'm a TRUE southerner. I lived in Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi prior to New England. As for hobbies, I absolutely love to travel. You can always catch me on the next flight out somewhere or planning a trip for sure!!

Favorite Thing about TUSDM/Why you chose Tufts:! I've never lived in a metropolis like Boston, so I loved the idea of the new challenge and experience. Once I stepped into Tufts, positive vibes radiated from everyone I came in contact with and those vibes have stuck with me ever since. Not to mention the support from classmates, faculty and administration is unreal. Plus I love a good weekly lunch and learn, that's the cherry on top!
Fun Fact About yourself/Things involved in outside of School: Outside of school, I love to dance! I've been member of a West African dance company after college, danced in church and even ballet and tap as a young girl. Fun fact: To challenge myself in college I joined a competitive contemporary dance team where I had to learn new technical moves. We went to competitions……we lost! But my facial expressions and the fluidity of my hand movements were on Point! #DentalStudent #DentalLife #TUSDM

Favorite thing(s) about Tufts and/or Boston? Tufts is located in a city that has a rich history with so many sights to see and things to do that’s just a train ride away. While I haven’t explored too much of Boston yet, I look forward to the warmer days and soaking up the sun in the Commons.
Fun Fact(s) about yourself and/or hobbies? When I'm not studying, you’ll most likely find me in the kitchen baking up a storm.

Favorite Thing about TUSDM/Why you chose Tufts: The sense of community is incredible. Our class is very supportive and everyone’s voice is heard and appreciated. I picked Tufts to get a world class education, while making lasting friendships and connections throughout my time. Have absolutely loved my experience so far!
Fun Fact About yourself/Things involved in outside of School: From grades K-12 I went to school abroad (Qatar and Japan) since my dad's job took us all over the world. In my free time, I enjoy watching and playing sports with friends, going on walks around Boston, and just spending time with friends and family.

Favorite thing(s) about Tufts and/or Boston? My favorite thing about Tufts is that we have such a diverse class. There are so many unique things about my classmates (wide age range, different cultures, kids/no kids, previous careers, military experience, wealthy/not wealthy, etc.) and I’m happy that Tufts believes in bringing EVERYONE together. Some dental schools will claim that they are looking for diversity, but when you look at the demographics of their recently accepted students, they didn’t really put their money where their mouth was. Also, Boston is cool because I always see dogs outside and I can get pho almost anywhere in the city.
Fun Fact(s) about yourself and/or hobbies? Every December my friends and I get together for an Annual *Britmas* Celebration. It’s like Christmas, but the entire party is centered around Britney Spears and we celebrate her by wearing a themed “BritFit”, play some Britney-themed trivia, listen to her music, exchange gifts with another “Britney” at the party, and most importantly no one is allowed in without 2 bottles of champagne for mimosas. Because of Covid, our 4th Annual Britmas had to happen over zoom and it simply wasn’t the same. Here’s hoping that we get “lucky” this year and that our 5th Annual *Britmas* Celebration won’t be so “toxic”.
