Background

About Claudia Ross

I’m Claudia Ross, a recent graduate from Indiana University Bloomington with a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies on the pre-dental track. I am passionate about patient-centered care, creative communication, and making a lasting impact through both confident smiles and compelling campaigns. Over the past four years, I have combined my academic studies with hands-on experience in healthcare and marketing. Through Global Dental Brigades in Panama, I assisted in dental procedures, provided oral health education, and worked closely with underserved communities. These experiences strengthened my cultural competency, clinical knowledge, and commitment to accessible care. I also served as a Resident Assistant for three years, supporting over 100 students and developing strong skills in communication, leadership, and crisis management. At the same time, I worked as a Marketing Manager and Campus Ambassador for Up & Up Festival. I led content creation, built affiliate partnerships, and executed digital campaigns that increased social media engagement by 33.5 percent. I enjoy crafting stories that connect with people, whether in a clinical environment or a creative setting. My ultimate goal is to become an orthodontist with a focus on pediatric care and community outreach. In the short term, I am seeking opportunities to deepen my clinical skills and continue building meaningful connections as a dental assistant, researcher, or in a marketing and communications role within the healthcare space.
