Tell us a little bit about yourself:
I am a second generation Malay-American, born and raised in Blacksburg, VA. I have a passion for soccer that my younger brother and I share. I try to stay as active as possible through exercise, snowboarding, golf, and hiking. I’ve always been fascinated by astronomy and even more so by great food.
Why are you passionate about dentistry?
When thinking about a career to pursue I realized dentistry was the one. It revolves around scientific evidence while utilizing abilities I greatly value: artistry, creativity, and dexterity. I want to apply these skills to provide the highest level of care to the patients I serve in the community.
