WHAT THIS AWARD MEANS TO ME

Winning this award is a meaningful recognition of the dedication, resilience, and passion I've put into both my academic journey and the care I provide to patients.

WHAT I AM MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO

Financially, this support will allow me to pursue my Bachelor of Health Science degree while also helping me pay down student loans. It's a huge step toward building a strong foundation for my dental career, both clinically and academically.

WHAT I AM MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO

I'm most excited to be joining a positive, team-oriented environment at Tuscany Dental in Victoria, where I can continue learning and growing. I'm passionate about lifelong learning, and I know this clinic will support me in becoming the best clinician I can be.

WHAT ADVICE WOULD I GIVE OTHER STUDENTS

My advice is not to underestimate the impact of your dedication, both in the classroom and in patient care. Stay consistent, remain open to feedback, and actively advocate for your growth.
