Dorna began her academic career at York University graduating with a Honours Bachelor of Science (HBSc.) in 2008 and continuing her studies at the University of Western Ontario, Graduating with a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) Degree in 2012. Dorna has been practicing as a general dentist for the past 5 years, and in 2016 decided to further her education. She is currently pursuing a Dental Specialty Degree and Master of Science (MSc.) in Dental Public in the Faculty of Dentistry at the University of Toronto. Her interest in pursuing this specialty stems from her work with people from lower socioeconomic statuses as well as a high immigrant population. She strongly believes that inequalities in accessing dental healthcare should be eliminated and that every individual has the right to equal access to the best oral health care that is available. Dorna is also interested in pursuing research connecting oral health with overall health and strengthening the relationship between medical doctors and oral health care providers in order to provide patients with optimal care.
