About
When it came to moving from the Dominican Republic to the United States, Jimmy Alburquerque DMD AS 19 drew inspiration from his uncle, a physician living and working in Virginia. ``He came to the United States as an immigrant, looking for a better life,`` Alburquerque said. ``He actually got to, in my eyes, achieve the American dream.`` Alburquerque arrived at GSDM in 2017, and jumped into student organizations, attending ASDA's National Leadership Conference [NLC] in Chicago, where he caught the ``ASDA fever,`` as he put it. ``After I came back [from NLC] I started being more involved,`` he said. He worked with ASDA both at GSDM and nationally: At GSDM, he served as the vice-chair of the Diversity and Inclusion committee, and nationally, he was on the AS international dental committee, where he advises other international students. He also currently serves as class representative for GSDM's student government, and as vice president of the school's Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) student chapter. Alburquerque, who hopes to build his own practice after graduating, said that he enjoyed taking on leadership roles while at GSDM. ``You can see the change happening,`` he said. ``Sometimes it's a small addition—sometimes you can see it snowballing, and becoming something bigger.``
