Throughout multiple cycles, with all the emotional highs and lows that come with the CaRMS process, Maria never wavered in her support. She consistently checked in, encouraged me when I felt discouraged, and helped me regain confidence when the journey felt overwhelming.

Another thing that stands out about Maria is that she was not just concerned about the money; she prioritized us! There were sooooo (the number of zeros is not an error. Lol) many times I'd book a session that ought to be for an hour, but she never ended the session before logically concluding what we had planned to discuss. She's all you really need. Thank you, Maria!!!

It’s been some tough times for me but I am good and looking forward to residency in July. I am trusting God for a beautiful time with TMU.  I just want to appreciate you again for being there at the toughest period in my medical career. Thank you for all you did and continue to do and enjoy the rest of summer.

Maria is very personable and caring. She cared for my physical and mental wellbeing and my family as much as she cared for my application. I always looked forward to the Virtual Happy Hour sessions she hosted during the waiting period before match day. I had fun and learnt many important things outside the medical profession.
