Opportunities don’t happen, you create them.

Dr. Tanya’s career story is a great reflection of this quote. From planning the best treatment strategies for the patients or weaving engaging content with ease, she does it all!

In 2019, during the challenging days of COVID, Dr. Tanya had just graduated from Manipal College of Dental Sciences.
