Executive Board
Ohm Patel
President
Hi everyone, I’m Ohm Patel, a 3rd year pre-dental student, and I’m honored to be your PDS President this year. I know how challenging it can be as a pre-dental student from taking rigorous classes to practicing for interviews, but for so many years PDS has assisted countless students like me through it all. I hope you all can also benefit from this guidance, and I will work towards maintaining our organization while also finding new ways to adapt to an ever changing pre-dental community.
Riddhi Patel
Vice President
Hello everyone! I’m Riddhi Patel, your Vice President! I am a third year pre-dent from the Bay Area. Joining PDS has provided me with a strong support system and resources to navigate the pre-dental program. In my free time, I like to bullet journal and watch tv shows. I look forward to meeting all of you!
Hi everyone! I’m Trisha Yanduru, a 3rd-year pre-dent and this year's PDS secretary. Outside of school, I love traveling, dancing, and practicing calligraphy. I recently traveled with my family to Puerto Vallarta in Mexico. Dance has been a hobby of mine throughout my childhood, and I continue to teach and learn when I have free time. During my first two years at UOP, PDS provided me with invaluable resources and opportunities that helped me with my pre-dental journey. I'm thrilled to give back this year by helping to organize our events. Can’t wait for an amazing year together!

Selah Hmun
Treasurer
Hello everyone my name is Selah and I am a third year pre-dent! I am the PDS treasurer and my responsibility pertains to managing our funds. In my free time I like to color with alcohol markers, rollerblade, and as of recently, play pickle ball. PDS really helped me find a community on campus where I could ask for advice and learn more about the pre-dental process. I aim to provide a similar positive experience to all of you for this school year. I’m excited to meet all of you!
Celina Yang
Public Relations
Hello everyone! My name is Celina Yang and I’m a 2nd year predental student. As PDS PR, I will be managing our social media platforms and promotions. Being a part of PDS has allowed me to connect with other students with similar passions and provided valuable insights into pursing dentistry! I hope to work hard alongside the executive board to contribute to the growth of PDS. Lastly, some fun facts about me are that I like watching movies, rock climbing, and debating interesting topics!
Laura Kim
Web Master
Hello! My name is Laura, and I am currently a 2nd year pre-dental student. I'm excited to be your web master this year! My goal is to ensure the PDS website remains a familiar, useful, and easy-to-navigate resource where you can find the latest updates on the pre-dental program and dental school applications. As a freshman, PDS was an incredibly helpful resource to learn more about the program and meet other students with similar interests. I look forward to collaborating with the other board members to make your experience at PDS both memorable and valuable. Feel free to leave me any questions or concerns on the website forum!
