Miri Kim

I attended Nova Southeastern University for my dental studies, graduating with Honors in 2012.  Since then, I have practiced dentistry in a private practice setting.  Having owned my own practice for the past 4 years has made me realize that I have a passion for teaching.  I enjoy teaching/training my assistants, hoping that they will reach their full potential.  I have also mentored prospective future dentists in my office and hope to have instilled in them the yearning to be the best dentist that they can be.  I believe that being trilingual, being fluent in Spanish and Korean, can prove advantageous for the program allowing for better communication with students.
