Allow me to introduce myself

Hey there!

My name is Athens, I am a D4 at Midwestern University, College of Dental Medicine-Arizona. I am a God-fearing woman, Arizona native, brunch connoisseur and travel enthusiast! 

Since the age of five years old, I have always wanted to be a dentist. I will be sharing my academic, professional and personal experiences that have made me who I am and gotten me to where I am at in life.

I will tell you my story of how I got into dental school and as well as my journey through dental school. I will give a transparent picture of both the challenges and successes I experience. I will also share helpful tips for pre-dental students.

I created I’m Flossy, LLC to encourage, stand by and most importantly be a representation for underrepresented minorities (URM) going into healthcare. Whether it be dentistry, medicine, nursing and etc. “Wear Scrubs, Don’t Date Them”. I create pins, stickers and socks with us healthcare workers in mind, that is relatable, laughable, and inspiring!

"When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, 'I used everything you gave me'".
