Fernanda Lopez

I was born and raised in Mcallen, TX, a border city that lacked many healthcare services. This sparked my motivation to pursue a career in this field and make a lasting impact in people’s lives. I was always had a passion for dentistry, which is why I am following the Pre-dental track with hopes of becoming a general dentist in South Texas. After graduating in May 2023, I will receive my bachelors degree in Biology and certification in Public Health.

Throughout my undergraduate years, I found ways to get involved in the field and make an impact in the community around me. I took on leadership roles in the Pre-Dental Society that have allowed me to educate my campus during oral hygiene awareness week and give care packages to the homeless shelters. Additionally, I am an active member of the Delta Zeta Sorority in which we have hosted multiple fundraisers for our philanthropies, The Sunshine Cottage and The Sparky Foundation.
