May 2025 – present
I volunteer with Dr. Eileen Seitz (retired) and Giving Smiles, helping deliver free or subsidized dental care through a mobile clinic and a small office for longer procedures. The mobile unit operates across Middle Tennessee — state licensing rules keep it from crossing into Kentucky. Running a mobile dental practice is harder than it looks: the equipment, the compliance, the logistics of setting up and breaking down at every site. Dr. Seitz has built something rare, and working alongside her has changed how I think about what access to care actually requires.
