Grishma Shah

Intern through August 2020

Ever since I volunteered at the Mid-Maryland MOM, I was inclined towards being a part of MSDAF and doing my bit for the community. I was given the privilege to work with Dr. Diane Romaine on a very interesting project which was the highlight of my internship. The best part about MSDAF is its culture. Despite being just an intern, my opinions and ideas were always valued. I was not only encouraged to make my own decisions but also motivated to stand by them. 

 

All through my internship, I had the greatest opportunity of working with the most dynamic and passionate people. I will forever cherish my experience and the connections I made.

Intern through August 2019

Through this internship, I have been able to cultivate relationship with so many amazing, hardworking people. I will take these skills and relationship that I have received from this internship through my future dental career. 

​

I consider the MOMs to be necessary in providing needed dental care to those who otherwise would be left without it. It is truly humbling to be part of such an amazing cause.

Intern through August 2019

After volunteering at the Baltimore MOM, I was impressed by the impact MSDAF was making to the community. Interning at the MSDAF gave me insight about the behind-the-scene work that goes into organizing the MOMs and how non-profits work.

 

It has inspired me to be more actively involved in my community! It was incredible to be able to contribute to such a great organization and I really enjoyed my time here!
