Mackenzie Andrews (CDMA 2025)

I am a second-year student at the College of Dental Medicine-Arizona. I grew up in California and went to the University of Minnesota for undergrad. I graduated with my Master of Biomedical Sciences degree from Rutgers University in 2020. I love to spend my free time making do-it-yourself projects, hiking, or watching Netflix. I have dreamed of becoming a dentist since I was in elementary school, and I am hoping to specialize in oral surgery after graduation. If I had to give advice to my younger self throughout high school and college, it would be to start early, ask questions, and get many mentors. Most importantly, keep in mind that everything will work out in the end, so make time to have fun.
