Literature (new book, book award, screenplay, etc.)
Excited to share that my book 'Beyond the Chair: A Dentist's Guide to Global Health' has just been published by University of Toronto Press\! It chronicles my experiences providing dental care in rural communities across Southeast Asia and East Africa over the past decade. Available at the UofT Bookstore and online. A portion of proceeds supports the Faculty of Dentistry's Global Outreach Fund.
