Hello! My name is Heidi and I'm from San Diego, CA. I graduated from Lehigh University this past May. I love deep, meaningful connections with people and learning about their stories, perspectives, and interests. I was first drawn to dentistry for the opportunities to develop long-term relationships and because the core of it is service. I'm also interested in working in academia and planting clinics, hospitals, and dental schools in underserved areas of the world to make healthcare more sustainable. I enjoy hiking, thrifting, tennis, and cooking, but nothing beats a colorful sunset at the beach. I'm thrilled to be with my friends in Cannon. Your passion and humility inspire me :)
