2022-23 Executive Board
President
Sunali Patel
Hello everyone, I'm Sunali Patel, a third-year 3+3 pre-dental student from Southern California. During my freshman year, navigating the pre-dental program was challenging, but joining PDS provided me with numerous resources and a supportive community of people willing to help me through it all. I hope each of you will discover PDS as a place to get your questions answered and be part of a supportive environment with individuals who share similar passions. Feel free to reach out and say hi on campus!

Hi, my name is Ella Nguyen and I am the current PDS Treasurer! As treasurer, my primary duty is to manage PDS’ finances. PDS has been a big part of my undergrad experience and you can always find me at our social events! A couple fun facts about me: I enjoy sewing, and my favorite band is Radiohead.
Public Relations
Kacie Tonnu
Hi everyone! I'm Kacie Tonnu, your Public Relations Chair! I joined PDS because I was told that I could get professional and academic help through PDS coming in as a pre-dental student. My love for PDS grew, not because of the help that I got, but because of the people that I’ve met. I was blessed to have a supportive PDS big who not only helped me with academic questions but also made me feel welcome at UOP as a freshman. We are still in contact now and I still value his advice. I have interests in sculpting and art which allowed me to connect with so many other talented PDS members that share the same interests. Being on the executive board this year for PDS allowed me to meet a loving, kind, and hardworking board that I’ve formed a connection with and have provided continuous support for me throughout the semester. I am excited to continue to grow with PDS!
Web Master
Alice Lan
Hi everyone! I'm Alice Lan, your Webmaster! I am a 2nd year 3+3 Pre-Dent who maintains and updates the PDS website. When I first joined PDS, I knew that PDS would allow me to connect with other Pre-Dents and gain valuable insight to how the dental admissions process works! I am truly grateful for how much PDS has helped me. If you see me around, don't be afraid to say hi!
