      Smile Shadowers Board

      Smile Shadowers is an organization created by and for pre-dental students, born out of the want to help other pre-dental students having trouble finding in-person shadowing opportunities due to COVID-19 safety concerns. Our organization has been very successful; we have accumulated over 4.6k followers on Instagram and have about 700 active members as of now. I currently hold one of the main leadership positions in the organization; as part of the Relations & Referrals committee, I act as a liaison between our organization and potential guests/speakers, including various admissions officers at different dental schools.

My duties include creating events focused on professional development, building and nurturing long-term partnerships with dental students and campus organizations, taking and updating attendance for professional meetings, etc. Worked with the Shultz Group to examine college-level chemistry instructor's individual documentation work, instructors' documentation work in their communities of practice, and how their individual work and collective work influence their development as educators.
