Marlene, one of our JFEW Scholars studying at New York City College of Technology, is interning at Kings County Hospital as a dental hygienist this summer. Throughout this experience Marlene hopes to gain clinical knowledge and learn to be more comfortable working with patients and co-workers.

The best advice Marlene has received during her internship experience is, "Have your own set of principles that are good for the patient and yourself. There will be different people and scenarios that will come and go; some might be good and some might be bad, but always stick to what you believe in."
