Valeria’s Dental School Qualifications
Coaches professionally
Hello! I'm Val, a DMD student at Harvard School of Dental Medicine. Being Latina and the first healthcare professional in my family, I know firsthand how overwhelming the dental school admissions process can feel when you’re figuring it out on your own. That experience taught me persistence, resourcefulness, and the value of finding the right guidance— which is now where I come in. I’m excited to meet you, cheer you on, and help you refine your story to create an application that truly reflects who you are. Together, we’ll make your path to dental school feel a little less stressful and a lot more empowering.
