Dear Classmates:
My name is Lovin Kahlon and I am writing this letter to present my interests and experiences to join a team of writers for this semester.
As a third year student at UBC enrolled in Bachelor of Dental Science, I am experienced in conducting research and writing scientific reports. My work as a dental hygienist requires extensive time management, interpersonal and collaboration skills with other professionals to meet the needs of my patient. Patient education and advocacy are two of my passions. After graduating with a degree in dental science, I aspire to become a clinical instructor and work closely with the dental hygiene associations on access to care for dental issues.
My academic achievement includes graduation with honours roll from the dental hygiene program in 2009. I have volunteered as a mentor to dental hygiene students to facilitate their professional growth as new clinicians. Furthermore, my volunteer activities also include providing free dental hygiene services to low-income families through an outreach program.
I consider a lack of digital knowledge one of my weaknesses and often find creating digital content intimidating. As for my writing skills, I would like to improve creativity and coherence in my writing. My learning philosophy includes self-reflection, setting high expectations for myself and also overall enjoying the learning process.
If you find my skills and interests complement your own, please feel free to reach at me kahlon20@student.ubc.ca. I look forward to the opportunity to learn with you all.
Sincerely,
Lovin Kahlon
