Hi! It's so exciting you're thinking of pursuing dentistry! Though the process can get overwhelming at times, I had a lot of support from mentors who helped elevate my application and boost my confidence - things I would be honoured to help you do now on your journey!
I'm in my third year of the Doctor of Dental Surgery Program at the University of Toronto but I was also accepted to Western University. I'm well-versed in building a successful application to Ontario dental schools and I'd love to guide aspiring dental students through the rigorous admissions process. I have also helped students gain admission to dentistry programs at UofAlberta, UofManitoba, the University of Western Australia and various American schools.
During my undergraduate degree at McMaster University, I worked in a mentorship role offering 1-on-1 guidance and support to first-year students navigating the complexities of higher education. I have a deep understanding of the unique challenges students face and how to help them succeed. I was also a senior research editor for a youth STEM journal for nearly three years, so I have plenty of experience critically evaluating and providing constructive feedback in a way that truly seeks to help and empower you.
There's so much I've learned on my journey to dental school and I'd love to share my insight with you. Regardless of your life path, you have valuable experiences and skills that I'm committed to helping you showcase in your applications. I'm happy to help you navigate everything from the DAT to your interview. Let's work together to make your dental school dreams a reality!

I had 2 mock interview sessions with Kavina, and I had an amazing experience! She was incredibly knowledgeable and insightful, providing constructive feedback with each answer. Her guidance boosted my confidence so much and helped me sharpen my answers. I left feeling prepared, and in a way better position than where I started.
