2026 Cohort
Interest:  Dentistry

Hi there! My name is Ariana Mendez and I am from Yorkville, IL. I graduated from the University of Iowa with a B.A. in Interdepartmental Studies. Outside of school I work as a registered dental assistant where I have found a love for the art and science behind dentistry. As an aspiring dentist, I am excited for the knowledge, skills, and support I will acquire from Iowa’s MCA program! Outside of work and academics, I enjoy paddle boarding, cooking, and spending time with friends!
