About Me
Hi everyone! My name is Madi, and I am a fourth-year pre-bio major. I joined PDO as a way to meet new friends and find people who are also interested in dentistry. It has been one of my favorite experiences in college so far. My favorite moment in PDO was doing the chicken suture lab last year. Some of my other hobbies outside of school include running, baking, cooking, hiking, walking, and origami. I can’t wait to meet everyone this year!
