She was a shy kid with her nose always in a book, but all it took was a set of braces to jump-start Shivakumar’s confidence and point her toward dental school. She’ll tend to the teeth of children in Belize on a volunteer trip this fall.

Her type: A cultured Mr. Fix-It who can bring her out of her shell

Deal breaker: Any guy who is way too sensitive
