I graduated magna cum laude from the University of Rochester, majoring in Cell and Developmental Biology with a minor in Russian and Psychology. In addition, I was accepted to a 5th year tuition free program where I was able to study music and language cognition. I currently work as a research assistant at UCLA and a teaching facilitator at USC.

I've taught science courses for the past 6 years in chemistry, organic chemistry, biology, math, and physics to high school and college students.

I also took the MCAT recently during the summer of 2021. The MCAT is a beatable exam, and involves more strategy & passage analysis, and less brute force through rote memorization. I increased my score by 7 points, with the same amount of memorized facts, and instead focusing on strategy. Khan academy can teach you any MCAT subject better than I can, it is strategy and passage analysis that is often the deciding factor between a mediocre score and a great score. I improved my score to as high as a 131 or 132 in several sections across my practice exams and my final score. My final score was a 131 in CP, 130 in BB, 131 in PP, and I bombed the CARS section with a 125 though my highest practice score in CARS was an unweighted 129.
