"Hello! I graduated from Yale University cum laude (GPA 3.8) with distinction in the Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology major and a Journalism minor. After college, I worked in science journalism at National Public Radio. Now, as an MD/MBA candidate at the University of Pennsylvania, I’m passionate about helping future healthcare professionals at every step of their journey.

My experience as a science journalist sharpened my ability to make complex scientific concepts accessible and engaging. This skill is invaluable not only for explaining difficult subjects during test prep but also for helping you craft a narrative that resonates with admissions committees. Whether you're translating your research experience into a compelling story or need help with essay writing, I can provide the expertise you need. I have provided editorial support for countless admission essays, where students attended top universities and medical schools (including Yale, Princeton, UPenn, Stanford, and more!).

I believe true learning comes from a deep understanding of concepts, not just memorization. I have experience in science curriculum development and have supported other students as a peer math tutor. By emphasizing critical thinking, I help students grasp material more effectively, building a solid foundation that will serve them well beyond exams and applications. This approach not only makes learning more fun but also enables you to retain more knowledge, setting you up for long-term success.

Having successfully navigated the application process myself, I understand the challenges you face. I scored 99th percentile on SAT and 97th percentile on MCAT. My goal is to provide personalized, expert guidance that will help you present your best self to admissions committees. Whether you need help with test prep (SAT, MCAT, GRE, NBME, or USMLE), refining your application strategy, mastering interviews, or crafting standout essays, I am here to support you at every stage. Together, we can make your dreams a reality!" less...
