In 2014–15, Kučvaļska placed seventh at both of her JGP assignments, in Ostrava and Tallinn. Making her senior international debut, she took gold at the 2014 Volvo Open Cup, an ISU Challenger Series (CS) event. Continuing on the senior level, she placed seventh at the CS Warsaw Cup and took gold at the Tallinn Trophy, Latvian Championships, and MNNT Cup. Kučvaļska was named in Latvia's team to the 2015 European Championships in Stockholm, Sweden and placed 17th in the short program, earning qualification to the next segment.
