Current Executives
President
Savanah Haidar
Microbiology and Immunology, U2
Hi, my name is Savanah! My interest in dentistry dates back to Grade 9 when I first got my braces. My journey at the orthodontic clinic unfolded my curiosity in the practice of dental care. It combined my passion in helping others with my artistic sense. I am very excited to be a member of the MPDSS team and to assist aspiring students.
Vice President
Kitty Li
Psychology, U5
Hi! I am Kitty. I am a bit of an untraditional student (finished my psych courses and currently taking prerequisite science courses for dental school). I took a gap my second year and switched majors to psych to figure out what I wanted to do. Somehow, dentistry came into the picture. As I started learning about the potential career path, I began to commit myself during the pandemic in the end of 2020. It was certainly challenging getting all the process in order so I am here to help make that period easier for you guys! Always feel free to reach out!
VP Shadowing
Cathy Shen
Biochemistry, U2
Hi! I am Cathy! I am interested in dentistry because it is a field centred around medical science but at the same time, it is very aesthetically focused!
VP Events
Dayoon Chang
Kinesiology, U2
Hello, my name is Dayoon Chang, and I am a U1 Kinesiology student. I have always been interested in dentistry because it is a career that is rewarding in so many different ways, from restoring a patient’s smile to interacting with patients on a personal level. As an aspiring pre-dental student myself, I joined MPDSS to help, support, and guide other passionate pre-dental students around campus. I am so excited and thankful to be a part of the MPDSS executive team this year!
VP Finance
Injy
Cognitive Science, U2
Hi! I am Injy! Growing up, my mother always took me to work with here where I was exposed to the field at a very young age. I loved her passion towards it and in a way it became engrained din me as I grew to learn and understand the things she loved about dentistry. I am so excited to work with such an amazing team this year! I can’t wait to meet others with similar passions!
