WHY SHE WAS NOMINATED:

Despite her youth, Dr. Weiner already has three continents’ worth of dental experience: Australia, Europe and North America.

INSPIRATION:

Dr. Weiner dreams of one day opening a free dental clinic in honor of her grandfather, Dr. Justin Dunn, who was a general dentist and philanthropist in her hometown of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, for over 40 years. In the meantime, she volunteers at the Gary Burnstein Community Health Clinic in Pontiac, Michigan. “Health care, including dental care, is a right, not a privilege,” she says.
