I am now looking to serve my community. <br /> Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: <br /> None <br /> Boards/Commissions applied for: <br /> Board of Health <br /> Background, education and experience relevant to this board: <br /> At different times throughout my 18 year career as a dentist, I ve held clinical positions in public <br /> health facilities, at times full-time or part-time. I am currently enrolled in Gillings School of Public <br /> Health at UNC-CH and pursuing my MPH in Leadership in Practice, although this is only my first <br /> semester. I am currently serving as the Interim Program Director for the Dentistry in Service to <br /> Communities (DISC) program for UNC-Adams School of Dentistry along with my full-time clinical <br /> assistant professorship role. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> I am interested in access to care for all individuals within the community and ensuring that <br /> patients needs are being met. <br /> Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: <br /> Having worked with patients receiving care within public health facilities, I ve learned of the <br /> personal challenges faced by some of the patients in regards to their health, transportation <br /> issues, and financial limitations. When I owned my dental practice prior to relocating to the area, <br /> I accepted Medicaid Insurance and was acutely aware of how few providers accepted the <br /> insurance as well as how few treated pediatric patients in dentistry. While I have experience <br /> clinically, I am learning about public health on a broader scale. <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br /> Boards/Commissions appointments: <br />
