Welcome to Tufts University School of Dental Medicine Class of 2027’s Dental Central page!
My name is Jorge Bacallao and I am proud to humbly serve as the D27 Class President. I am originally from Hialeah, FL and grew up loving sports, Disney, and family. My favorite sport near and dear to me is hockey (Let’s Go Panthers!). I graduated with a Bachelors in Interdisciplinary Studies (Biomedical sciences/Health Sciences) from UCF and a Masters in Biomedical Sciences from Barry University. My goal is to become a great general dentist and be an active volunteer for those in need. I am so honored to represent the diverse, creative, and vibrant Class of 2027!
My name is Michelle Zak and I’m thrilled to be stepping into the role of Vice President for the D’27 Class! I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY and attended CUNY Hunter College during my undergraduate years, majoring in Psychology and minoring in Music. Beyond the classroom, I love to build intricate LEGO designs with moving parts and play the piano in my free time. I’ll take any chance I can get to play volleyball with friends! I am eager to contribute to the vibrant spirit of the D’27 Class, immersed in a sense of community and collaboration. Looking forward to working together to make our school experience enriching and memorable for everyone!
My name is Heidy Acosta and I am honored to be representing the D27 class as secretary. I was originally born in Cuba and raised in southwest Florida, where I attended Florida Gulf Coast University and received my Bachelor’s degree in Biology. I love being out in nature, traveling, and spending time with loved ones. I have enjoyed getting to know my fellow classmates so far and working to build a D27 family of our own. I look forward to making a lasting impact on our class and our school through the collective work of our wonderful executive board!
My name is Elizabeth Bull, and I am excited to serve as the D’27 class Treasurer! I was born and raised in Nashua, New Hampshire. I attended Syracuse University for my undergraduate and continued my education at Barry University to receive my Masters Degree in Biomedical Sciences. During my free time, I love to read, take walks around Boston to explore, snowboard and spend time with my family. I am extremely grateful to be able to work with such an amazing class!
