About Marina
I went through the dental school application process just 2 years ago and was admitted to 10+ dental schools across the U.S., so I understand firsthand how exciting (and challenging) this journey can be! Whether you’re looking for mock interview practice, guidance on school selection, or a full application review, I’m here to support you every step of the way. I have extensive experience with essay writing and love helping pre-dental students craft unique, compelling personal statements and secondary essays through brainstorming and editing sessions. My goal is to make this process a little less overwhelming and help you get one step closer to your dream of becoming a dentist!
