WELCOMING @LinAmy2000 TO HSDM & ASDA✨ 🎓Amy a

WELCOMING @LinAmy2000 TO HSDM & ASDA✨

🎓Amy attended Wellesley College with a Double Major in German Studies & Chemistry

📚Her favorite parts about HSDM are the built-in friends who become family because of the small class size, being able to share her dental school journey with and learn from peers, faculty, and staff who have had such incredible life experiences. She also loves the pass/fail curriculum and how it emphasizes community-building.

🍴Outside of school, Amy loves exploring the food scene and trying out new restaurants, playing board games, traveling, and watching reality TV shows with friends

🦷Amy is looking forward to several ASDA events, including Giving Veterans and Giving Kids a Smile and the opportunity to connect with not only the upperclassmen at HSDM, but also neighboring dental schools in District 1.

WELCOME TO HSDM AMY 🥳

CONTINUING D1 WELCOME WEEK WITH @Edson.De_Sousa ✨

🎓Edson attended University of Massachusetts Boston with a Major in Biology & a minor in Anthropology

🦷His favorite thing about HSDM is the pass/fail curriculum and the small class size. By far his favorite part about being at HSDM is the people. “Everyone has so many unique experiences and stories, I could talk to anyone here for hours. The facility is super helpful, kind and, truly wants us all to succeed. The support system here is amazing!”

💪🏼Edson loves working out every morning and taking care of his mental health. He’s also a huge foodie & loves going to new restaurants with friends and trying out new dishes. If he’s not in the gym or walking around Boston, you’ll find him in his room watching anime. He’s currently on episode 497 of Naruto Shippuden, with only have 3 more episodes left!
