Being selected as a Fulbright Student has been an incredible honor and a truly life-changing experience. During my time at the State University of New York at Albany, I had the opportunity to learn from outstanding faculty and gain knowledge and skills that I am excited to bring back to Romania’s public health system.
My research focused on Improving Oral Health in Romania’s Underserved Communities: The Role of Mobile Dental Units in Providing Prevention and Free Dental Care for Children. This topic reflects my passion for advancing oral health and making care accessible for those who need it most.
I am grateful to the Fulbright Program for making this journey possible and for empowering me to contribute to a healthier future for Romanian communities.
