Texas Tri Delt Debbie Yeh was certainly busier than most college students over her winter break.
A biology major and the vice-president of The Texas Pre-Dental Society, Yeh spent a month in Taiwan getting hands-on experience in what she hopes will be her future career.
Originally from Plano, Texas, Yeh had the opportunity to travel to her parents’ homeland and “learn a lot about where [her] parents grew up in comparison to where [she grew up].”
Stationed in a Taiwanese military hospital, Yeh was able to observe a number of different procedures and surgeries done by trained professionals.
“I learned that it’s really hard to stand in one place for hours upon hours multiple days in a row, but it was all worth it when I got to see a surgery that reconstructed a shattered face,” Yeh said.
As far as the future, Yeh said she loves helping people and hopes to attend dental school, and ultimately become an orthodontist.
In addition to her involvement in the Texas Pre-Dental Society, Yeh is also the Points Administrator for Tri Delta. This job requires she keep track of members’ involvement in philanthropic, on campus, and sisterhood events.
Yeh enjoys being involved in her sorority and finds the most rewarding part of joining Tri Delt to be "getting the opportunity to become friends with some of the most amazing people [she] may never have met otherwise."
