Summary
I am 19 year old mum currently studying in my 3rd year of dentistry, with a 3 year old baby.
I also play basketball for New Zealand and professionally which is what drives my commitment, determination and time management. As a mother, dental student and semi-professional athlete you need to be organised and hard working.
I have always worked over the summer period in all breaks to be able to provide for my family.
I am also a determined student, committed to my studies and achieving the highest quality of work.
