ISBELLA GEORGE '27
BIOLOGY | PRE-DENTAL TRACK
For Isabella George '27, dentistry is more than a career goal—it’s a calling rooted in personal experience and a deep desire to serve others.
“My scholarship is an investment not just in me, but in the communities I will one day care for,” George says. “My ambition is to become a pediatric dentist dedicated to making dental care accessible to underserved communities.”
George’s drive to make a difference is evident in everything she does on campus. She serves as President of the American Medical Student Association, Vice President of the Student Government Association, Secretary of the Asian American Pacific Islander Club, and a tour guide.
“My scholarship motivated me to not only step into these higher roles but to do my absolute best in each one,” she says. “Coming from a small town, I saw the impact one person can make, and that inspired me to get involved on campus and help foster a community that is loving and welcoming to all.”
Her passion for service deepened during a 2024 service trip to the Mustard Seed Communities, where she bonded with children who, despite immense challenges, radiated joy and love.
“It’s easy to get caught up in life’s challenges, but this trip reminded me that life is a gift, and we should appreciate every moment,” she reflects.
Her commitment to pediatric dentistry stems from personal experience. As a child, dental issues impacted her confidence—until compassionate care helped her heal. Now, she wants to pay that care forward.
Looking ahead, she plans to attend dental school, continue community service through medical service trips, and gain hands-on experience through internships.
“I hope to expand access to dental care in low-income communities where families may not be able to afford quality treatment—supporting not only their health, but their confidence,” says George.
Inspired by her parents and the support she has received, George is determined to help others believe in themselves and pursue their goals.
“My parents have shaped me to be caring and hardworking,” she says. “I want to use those values to encourage others to go after their dreams.”
