Andrea Valencia

Intern through December 2017

I loved sitting in on MOM meetings and getting to see all the small parts coming together for a greater whole. I also felt honored to be able to design an annual report and I was very, very proud of the work I had done.

​

The staff at MSDA and all the people I met throughout my interactions made me feel valued and important. Although I was just an intern, I never felt like I couldn't make a lasting impact.

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!
