Hey Everyone! My name is Brittany Echevarria and I am a 3rd year MCD Bio major and co-President of the Pre-Dental Society at UCSC.
I became interested in dentistry when I was really little. My dentist made going to the dentist a really great experience. He let me play with toothbrushes and teeth molds but what honestly sold me was that he gave out really cool holographic stickers lol. He taught me how to do my first impression when I was 13 which was really cool. From that point on I knew I wanted to to pursue dentistry and make going to the dentist a great experience for everyone.
When I got to UCSC I knew there was more to explore in the world of dentistry so I joined the pre-dental society. This opened up a multitude of opportunities and experiences I am very fortunate to have. I started watching YouTube channels and following people on Facebook who were in the dental field. I started following Taniasdentalschooldiaries on Instagram my first year of undergrad. She talks about her struggles and how she overcomes each year of dental school. She also takes really nice notes which then made me want to take better notes in all my stem classes. This Instagram page was recommended to me by the former Pre-Dental President so it also has a sentimental aspect to it.
I hope y’all check out the blog. It’s cool to see into the life of a dental student. Be sure to read the captions! It says more than what the picture holds.
