About

Hi, I'm Sreya, and welcome to my profile! I am currently a D1 at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, and I was in your spot not too long ago. As a pre-dental mentor and graduate of the University of Virginia, I have worked with 30+ students, helping them from the very beginning of the process. I know this can be a stressful time, but I hope to continue making it as easy as possible and support you with kindness and encouragement every step of the way. Outside of dentistry, I’ve been a lifelong dancer and find balance through creative outlets like art, cooking, and learning new styles of dance. I’m excited to support pre-dental students in crafting authentic, compelling applications and would be honored to be part of your journey. Feel free to book a session or message me!

Why do I coach?

As someone who discovered my passion for dentistry after my first year of college, I remember feeling confused and uncertain about where to start. Through my own research and finding some amazing mentors and alumni from my college who were in dental schools, I was able to navigate the process and be successful with getting into six dental schools. After completing my application cycle, I discovered how much I enjoy mentoring pre-dental students through this exciting journey. My experience as a Peer Academic Coach and Undergraduate Teaching Assistant has also equipped me with the skills to guide students through challenging coursework and application processes. I believe that everyone deserves to be a dentist, and I would be honored to help you get into school.
