Arlen “Kia” Moore – My name is Arlene “Kia” Moore; I am from Coolidge, Arizona, a small rural area located between Phoenix and Tucson. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), where I majored in Biology and Chemistry and served as a proud member of the Miners’ softball team. I am currently a second year dental student at the Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health (ASDOH), where I am an active member of various clubs including: American Student Dental Association, American Association of Women Dentist, Black Student Association, Entertainment Healers, and Hispanic Student Dental Association. I am also a representative of the A.T. Still University Student Association. I enjoy volunteering with organization such as the Special Olympics and Miracle League. After receiving my DMD and MPH, I plan to work in public health to help impoverished families afford dental care and to improve the oral health and knowledge of growing families within underserved communities. Outside of school, I enjoy painting, planting, cooking, and spending time with my family and friends. |
