Secretary DMD '22 | gkapov@bu.edu Liaison: Newsletter, PR, Pre-Dental Hometown: Chicago, IL I enjoy yoga, hiking and trying out new recipes! I love how ASDA has provided great opportunities for me to network other students/dental professionals and learn about important topics that we don't have time to address within our dental school curriculum (i.e. business, insurance, mentorship, etc). |
