Arshia Ashjaei - DDS Class of 2019
Hi everyone! My name is Arshia Ashjaei and I am a 3rd year dental student at the Dugoni School. I am also a former Bruin, and I graduated from UCLA in 2015 with a degree in Biochemistry. Since starting at Pacific, I realized my passion for helping pre-dental students become better and more competitive applicants, because I completely understand the challenges of the dental school admissions process. I also am a former Pre-dental chair of the American Student Dental Association. I am selected to participate in the Advanced Oral Surgery rotation at UOP and planing to apply to residency programs next year. I spend my (very limited) extra time with friends and finding the most unique restaurants, which is definitely not too challenging here in San Francisco. I am also a car enthusiast and I try to keep myself updated on any auto related news. I am really excited to work with you all!!!

Michelle Fat - DDS Class of 2019
Hi everyone! My name is Michelle and I am a 3rd year DDS student at the Dugoni School. I graduated from Santa Clara University with a major in biology and a minor in public health sciences. Currently, my post-grad plan is to work as an associate for a few years before considering either applying to residency programs or potentially running my own practice. In addition to schoolwork, I am the Vice President of my DDS 2019 class and am a co-leader of the Dugoni School's yearly dental outreach trip to Jamaica. I love meeting pre-dents and helping them along with their application process, whether they're just starting Freshman year of college or a few weeks away from submitting their application, and I'm looking forward to working with you all!

I’m also the previous chapter president of the school's American Student Dental Association (ASDA) chapter. If you’re interested in organized dentistry or the scholarship programs through the Armed Forces, I can answer any questions you have.

I love to talk and help pre-dental students reach their goals, so please don’t be shy, I’d be happy to answer any questions you may have!

Hi everyone! My name is Alex and I am a 3nd year at the Dugoni School. I went to UCSB were I majored in biopsychology with a minor in Spanish and am currently applying for orthodontic residency. I am passionate about outreach and volunteering and was last year's Co-President of the school's organization SCOPE (Student Community Outreach for Public Education) with one of our other officers, Allen. I was also the Co-President of the Ortho Study Club, and currently serve as Webmaster for the Spanish Club and as a Clinic Ambassador for my group practice. I love teaching and I enjoy working with pre-dental students because I know what a long and difficult road it can be getting into dental school. If you have any questions about dental school or volunteer opportunities at Pacific feel free to ask. I am so excited to meet all of you and help teach you some basic dentistry!

If you have any questions about military scholarships and programs for school please feel free to ask! After the Navy, I’d love to open my own dental practice. In my free time I enjoy cooking, photography (macro and portraiture), and hiking. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed volunteering at past pre-dental events and look forward to working with all of you very soon!

Second Year Representative:
Lisa Carrington - DDS Class of 2020
|
Hi all! My name is Lisa Carrington and I am a 2nd year DDS student in the class of 2020. I grew up in the east bay before attending Loyola Marymount University where I majored in biology with a minor in business administration. After having gone through the application process myself (especially from a smaller school), I appreciate Dugoni PDB for being such an incredible resource for pre-dental information and providing a chance to see if dentistry is the right fit. Here at UOP, I am involved in the ASDA and peer tutoring programs as well as staying involved in multiple clubs and study groups. After dental school, I would like to work in a community clinic before applying to a pediatric specialty program or purchasing my own practice. I have always loved teaching and am so excited to share my dental knowledge with all of you. I am happy to help answer questions about dentistry or the application process and am looking forward to meeting all of you!
