Transcript: Michelene Haught About Me About me Family Research Education Hobbies My Late Sister, Sara Family Sara, my younger sister, had Cerebral Palsy and is my main inspiration for wanting to specialize in pediatrics and improve the dental care for those with special needs. My husband Michael and our daughter Bryn motivate me to always do my best and persue my dream of becoming a dentist. Loma Linda University I conducted dental research at LLU, under Dr. Taylor for his Theory of Occulsion study. I composed two abstracts and posters. One was accepted by IADR although it was unable to be presented and was later presented at CDA in Anaheim, CA. I plan to present the other abstract poster in the near future. California State University San Bernardino I am currently doing research at CSUSB, my project is to sequence the oral microbiome of the alligator. I swabbed alligator's teeth, cultured many microbes and prepared other samples for sequencing. My hypothesis is that there are microbes contributing to the alligators oral health that result in their remarkable overall health. California State University San Bernardino California State University Monterey Bay While I attended CSUMB from 2012 to 2014 I was a member of AMSA, and ASDA. I wrote a portion of a funding proposal that was granted and enabled my ASDA club to put on a clinic in an underserved community. The clinic provided many homeless people with toothbush kits and a presentation on proper oral hygeine and its importance. I will have attended CSUSB from 2015 to 2017 where I will graduate with a Bachelor's of Science in Biology. While in attendance I was a member of the biology club and the pre-dental club. I believe being active and having fun are critical to a healthy lifestyle. I enjoy watching many sports such as football, hockey, motocross, baseball, and soccer. I play tennis, golf, and occasionally ride dirt bikes. I also enjoy learning many things such as new languages and how to play instruments. I like sewing, knitting and crocheting. Most of all I love spending time with my family and pets. Hobbies Why Case? CWRU SODM DMD DMD Values & Research CWRU SODM is the right fit for me because we share the same values for improving dental care and helping in underserved communities. I have found great enjoyment and purpose in serving the less fortunate. I believe in finding ways to be more efficient and improving the field of dentistry with everyday new innovations and continued research. I look forward to joining the summer research program offered by CWRU SODM. General Dentistry Pediatrics Pediatrics I look forward to continuing school at CWRU SODM after obtaining my DMD and specializing in pediatrics. I am very passionate about pediatric dentistry because I believe childhood fears are a major contributor to poor dental health. It is my goal to provide children with positive dental experiences. My daughter and sister inspire me to provide care to children and people with special needs. I know CWRU shares my passion for pediatrics because of the wounderful programs offered such as Headstart Outreach and Healthy Smiles Sealant. I am confident that CWRU will provide me with the resources I need to achieve my goals and more. Specializing Cleveland Rocks! Community Seasons Art The passion that the city of Cleveland has for the Cavaliers, Indians, and Browns is contagious. I respect how loyal the fan base of each team is and as a sports fanatic I would love to be part of it. To be within minutes of three professional franchises offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy live sports and get to know the city. Cleveland seems to have a great community that would be well suited for my family. I love the walking atmosphere Cleveland has and the Emerald Necklace park system is very attractive. I look forward to experiencing the outdoors and natural beauty of over 21,000 acres of Ohio. Cleveland Atmosphere Music is an integral part of my life. It is used to change moods, help learning, and start conversations. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland is a must-see for all music lovers such as myself. I took an art history class in high school and discovered the magic of paintings, sculptures, and many other forms of art. I have visted several art museums and I would love to vist the many that Cleveland has to offer. Culture The typical four seasons of the year did not exist much growing up in inland southern California. Long summers at 110 degrees can be a bit exhausting, anything under 100 would be welcomed. Winters at a 40 degree low elicits no snow or winter wonderland. Variety in weather is something I am looking forward to and I am anxious to experience a true winter in Ohio. Weather Watching
