I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a 4.0 GPA from Barrett, the Honors College at Arizona State University, with a B.S. in Biological Sciences and a minor in Art History. I scored a 520 on the MCAT (97th percentile): 129 C/P, 130 CARS, 130 B/B, and 131 P/S.
I currently work as a research assistant at Barrow Neurological Institute studying neuroinflammation in Parkinson's disease. My work involves designing experiments, developing protocols, and applying the same scientific reasoning the MCAT tests on a daily basis. I have done research across four institutions including an NSF fellowship in Kyoto, Japan, and have contributed to multiple peer-reviewed publications. The content on this exam is not abstract to me.
My teaching experience is hands-on. I TAed General Chemistry at ASU, independently running two lab sections of 50 students, giving pre-lab lectures, and supervising experiments. I also assisted in an Honors Anatomy course with cadaver lab instruction and was a Barrett Peer Mentor for two years doing one-on-one academic advising. I have always found that students who improve the most are not the ones who memorize more. They are the ones who learn to reason through problems they have not seen before. That is what I try to build, whether we are working through CARS passages, biochemistry, or P/S theory.
