Having personally struggled with several eating disorders, I made these infographics in 2021 to highlight the bidirectional oral health implications of eating disorders and highlight ways for dental professionals to help. These infographics were featured on Harvard ASDA's official Instagram Page.
About Me
Introduction
Hi I'm Bree, she/hers)! I graduated from Brown, receiving a degree in Psychology (ScB) with Honors, and I am pursuing a triple degree program (DDS/MPH/MA) at Columbia University College of Dental Medicine, combining a Doctorate of Dental Surgery, Master of Public Health, and Master of Education. Read more about my academic vision and goals.
Some things about me:
I am an artist and musician. Both music and art have provided spaces for healing, exploring my identity, telling stories, and learning about the world around me. I am still uncovering my relationship these passions as I build art and music within my dental journey but also reflect on ways they can exist outside of my professional life.
I am an avid explorer of new sports. In college, I picked up ice skating, frisbee, and ballroom dance, and found wonderful communities with them. In dental school, I developed a new hobby of kicking (taekwondo) and torturing myself over long distances (triathlons). I completed my first Olympic triathlon in 2025, with the next goal of half ironman, and I recently medaled at National Collegiate Taekwondo Championships.
