#MySmileMatters: Raising the Optics & Conversation on 

Children's Oral Health with Youth Voice 

#MySmileMatters, an initiative of America's ToothFairy, is the Nation's only youth engagement 

effort focusing on children's oral health. With tooth decay being the #1 chronic childhood disease 

in America, we believe it is essential to educate, engage and mobilize young people as teachers 

and advocates addressing children's oral health. 

Oral health contributes to heart disease, diabetes, cancers and other health problems. No matter 

what your chosen future health profession is, oral health and dental disease will affect your 

patients, their families and communities. Every health professional must understand the role oral 

health plays in overall health and wellness.

A Unique Healthcare Career… PHARMACY 

DO YOU LIKE VARIETY? 

A Doctorate of Pharmacy degree opens the door to 20+ career pathways. Pharmacists work in 

specialty areas such as nuclear pharmacy, oncology, cardiology, infectious disease, pediatrics, 

ambulatory care, and compounding, manage multi-million dollar companies as entrepreneurs, 

perform research, and work in more traditional settings such as independent and chain pharmacy. 

American Pharmacists Association: Career Option Profiles 

DO YOU LIKE SCIENCE? 

“Pharmacists provide expertise about the composition of medications, including their chemical, 

biological and physical properties, as well as their manufacture and use. They ensure drug purity 

and strength and make sure that medications do not interact in a harmful way”…… in other words, 

pharmacists have more knowledge about the science of drug composition and their activity in the 

human body than any other health professional. 

American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy: Student Brochure 

DO YOU WANT TO IMPROVE HEALTHCARE? 

Pharmacists have direct patient interaction and provide education about prescription and overthe-counter 

medications, advise nurses, physicians, and other health professionals on drug 

regimens, strive to cure and manage disease, reduce symptoms, and prevent disease through 

medication and preventative avenues such as diet and exercise. 

American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy: Student Brochure 

DO YOU WANT A LUCRATIVE CAREER WITH GREAT JOB PLACEMENT? 

The employment of pharmacists is expected to grow faster than the average of all 

professions between 2012-2022. The median wage for a pharmacist is $120,950.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER- 

FRANK KITCHENS 

"THE LIFE AND LEADERSHIP 

CONNOISSEUR" 

Frank Kitchen loves educating, elevating and 

empowering people around the world to live 

their personal and professional dreams. 

Born in Germany, the constant travels of this 

military brat's family led to a very interesting 

life full of diverse experiences and 

relationships. Travel taught Frank how to 

connect with people and gave him visual 

examples of everything life has to offer. 

This former award winning college educator 

and business manager practices what he 

preaches, by practicing his motto, "Live Life!" 

A motto that has led to unique adventures and 

experiences including: Being a student and 

community leader, working as a children’s 

birthday party entertainer; working as a 

professional actor and model; teaching at an auctioneer's school; working at a major Zoo; raising 

money for charities, managing a Toy Store, starting his own Personal & Professional 

Development company and authoring four books. 

Encouraged by his family, friends, and students, Frank left his position as a college educator to 

pursue his speaking and consulting dream. He has shared his Fresh and Creative Knowledge on 

Life and Leadership with major corporations, schools, colleges, universities, professional 

associations, conventions, conferences and civic organizations in the United States, Canada and 

Australia. He has empowered students, educators, volunteers, professionals, entrepreneurs and 

dreamers how to create and implement recipes that turn their dreams into reality. 

A resident of Phoenix, Arizona, Frank is a dedicated husband and father who would love the 

opportunity to assist you with living your dreams. 

"BE FRESH, STAY FRESH, LIVE FRESH!" 

Everybody loves something FRESH from the Kitchen! The experience of partaking in 

something New, Exciting, Great, Wanted, Needed and Positive is desirable. To create the 

environments where dreams flourish, you must be FRESH! FRESH results require a FRESH 

attitude. Your attitude determines how positive or negative your life experiences will be. 

"The Life and Leadership Connoisseur," Frank Kitchen will teach you why being Focused, 

Resourceful Enthusiastic, Strong and Honest are the essentials to living FRESH and 

experiencing the dreams you've always talked about 


NATIONAL HOSA REPRESENTATIVE 

TAVARUS ROWE 

A current senior at the College of Charleston in 

Charleston, SC, and a HOSA member for 6 years, 

Tavarus is an avid supporter of working hard. Not 

only does he see hard work as an acquired skill, but 

also as a way of life. Being raised as an only child in a 

single parent home, he was often left to figure many 

things out on his own, which contributed his 

academic success but yielded a somewhat 

introverted demeanor. 

In the 10th grade, Tavarus joined HOSA, where he 

was given the tools and components that allowed 

him to mold himself into the person that he had 

always dreamed of being. At this time, he was also 

urged to become a local officer, although this was 

only his second semester in the organization. He 

reluctantly applied and was elected as treasurer of 

the local chapter. After an exciting year Tavarus was 

urged to run for state office. This was a huge step for him, especially since he thought that he 

didn't have the skills necessary to be successful on the state level. Again reluctant, he 

applied and served as the SC HOSA Vice President for that year. At the conclusion of his 

term as VP, Tavarus had learned so much about himself and had become so inspired that he 

decided to run for SC HOSA office a second term and was elected as the president for the 

following year. 

After Tavarus served his last term as SC HOSA's president, he continued to give back to the 

organization by helping out with the state officers and with all of the conferences. It was 

through this involvement that he realized the special place HOSA held in his heart and 

decided to run for a seat on the National Executive Council. During his year in office, 

Tavaurs hopes to increase awareness of the post-secondary division so that they too can take 

advantage of the wonderful opportunities afforded by the organization. 

Without finding himself through HOSA, Tavarus would not have been able to enjoy and 

excel at the activities that he loves doing in his free time, such as working out, playing 

basketball, and hanging out with friends to name just a few. He is very excited to work with 

you all and looks forward to a great year of HOSA!
