45 - Hi, I'm Almost Dr. Clara Zhou (University of Toronto Dental Student)

Clara is currently a third year dental student at the University of Toronto Faculty of Dentistry. She grew up in Edmonton, Alberta before moving to Ontario to complete her Bachelor of Science at Queen's University. She began a Certificate of Business concurrently due to her interest in the field, however she discontinued this program to pursue dental school after her 3 years at Queen's University.

She is passionate about all things social and she truly believes in enjoying the journey along the way, no matter where she is at. In undergrad, she almost never missed out on a weekend opportunity to go out with friends and her positive experiences led to her becoming her class's Social Representative during the first 2 years of dental school.

Now, she serves as the Vice President of Student Life (External) for the Dental Students' Society to organize school-wide events throughout the year, play on the dental school's volleyball team, and dance with a team for the annual Dentantics show. She always says, "Getting involved in student life and saying yes to opportunities are undoubtedly a way to make the most of your time in dental school and honestly, in life as well."

She considers Toronto to be a big vibrant city to live in and she loves to explore all the food and things to do in the downtown core. For Clara, meeting new people continues to be one of the most exciting things in her life!
