Please join us in congratulating Natalia Chavez (Col ’19) for starting her first year of graduate school at the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Dentistry. This marks the start of her dream career! As a first-generation grad student, she has also started an Instagram (@chavez_dentaldds) to help others pursuing this field. Natalia was born in Brazil to Bolivian parents and moved to the United States when she was 11. While at UVA, she majored in Biology. As a bilingual Cavalier Daily staff member, she was the section editor for the Spanish translation section which was reestablished when she got involved with the organization. There, she translated articles that mainly pertained to the Latinx community, but not limited to. Additionally, she was involved with the Transfer Student Advising Program, the Transfer Advisory Board, and Hoos First.
