Natalie earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine as part of LMU’s inaugural class on Saturday, becoming the fourth sibling in her family to graduate with a professional degree from the University. Her three brothers, Caleb, Nathaniel, and Morgan, earned their medical degrees from LMU’s DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine, and now she joins them in building a career in health care.
“My brothers and I grew up in the Appalachian region, and we all love this area,” she said. “We knew we wanted to be able to provide health care here, so it was special getting to pursue our education at LMU.
Now, she joins her brothers in serving the region that shaped them, continuing a family commitment to care that is already making an impact across Appalachian communities. Now that’s a family tradition worth celebrating!
