This summer, Eliana Ukwuoma a second-year Biology major at Columbus State Community College with dreams of attending dental school, had the opportunity to turn career exploration into real-world experience.

Through Bio+Neuro Futures, Eliana was matched with Dr. Sacheen Garrison, owner of Groveport Smiles, who welcomed her into the dental profession through a two-week shadowing experience.

From observing patient care to learning more about the day-to-day responsibilities of a dentist and practice owner, Eliana gained valuable exposure, insight, and encouragement as she continues preparing for dental school.

This is what mentorship looks like at WrightChoice: connecting students with professionals who help them explore what’s possible, experience the profession firsthand, and build a pathway toward their future.

Thank you, Dr. Garrison, for investing your time, knowledge, and mentorship into the next generation of healthcare professionals! 🧡💙

Mentorship. Exploration. Exposure. Opportunity.
