2024 Graduate Spotlight: Ali Grossman

Hailing from Austin, Texas, this Texas A&M senior found a home away from home within the Aggie community. The welcoming environment and unmatched camaraderie at A&M solidified her college decision, and every experience—from cheering at Kyle Field to late-night study sessions at Evans Library—has reinforced her love for the university. Her time at A&M has been enriched by her involvement in extracurriculars, including serving as Vice President of Foundation for the Delta Gamma sorority, where she coordinated philanthropic events that raised over $60,000 for Service for Sight. Balancing academics with work experiences, she spent school years assisting at A Plus Tutoring and summers working as an orthodontic dental assistant at Avery Orthodontics. Additionally, her participation in the Texas A&M Pre-Dental Society and Aggie Sisters in Healthcare helped her develop professionally while fostering lasting connections.

As a Biology Major and Honors student, she has embraced opportunities to deepen her academic and personal growth. Her role as a Peer Mentor in the Hullabaloo U program allowed her to inspire fellow students and build connections within her major, while her research under Dr. Joseph Sorg exploring Clostridioides difficile further fueled her love of science. A life-changing study abroad experience in Florence, Italy, gave her the chance to explore medical anthropology and Italian culture, broadening her perspective on healthcare globally. Looking ahead, she plans to attend dental school. Her ultimate goal is to provide compassionate care that instills confidence and brings joy, ensuring that every patient leaves with a smile they’re proud to share.
