With an extensive academic background and a passion for mentorship, I bring a unique blend of analytical thinking, creative expression, and real-world experience to tutoring. I hold a B.A. in Neuroscience from the University of Pennsylvania, an M.A. in the Anthropology of Dance from the University of Roehampton (earned through a Fulbright award and recognized with the Best Dissertation Award), and an M.D. from the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA (2025).

Throughout my career, I have worked with students of all ages, from high schoolers preparing for college to medical students navigating their careers. I have mentored students in college and medical school admissions, offering insight into crafting compelling personal statements, mastering interview techniques, and strategizing for competitive applications. I also have experience in career development coaching, helping students identify and pursue meaningful educational and professional trajectories.

In addition, I tutor in writing, public speaking, and standardized test preparation (ACT/SAT English and Math). My expertise in writing stems not only from my academic achievements but also from my work as a published researcher, grant recipient, and scriptwriter. I help students refine their writing structure, argumentation, and clarity—whether for school assignments, essays, or professional communication. As a public speaker, educator, and performer, I coach students on confidence, delivery, and audience engagement, drawing from my experience leading workshops at institutions such as SONY Music, the Hammer Museum, and Tea at Shiloh.

My approach is student-centered, strategic, and adaptable. I tailor sessions to each student’s needs, breaking down complex concepts into accessible lessons while fostering critical thinking and confidence. Whether you need help mastering standardized tests, refining your writing, or planning your educational and professional future, I am committed to helping you achieve your goals with clarity and purpose.

College Counseling

Because my educational and professional background is so varied in terms of industry/field, I had to master the art of storytelling in my applications very early on to be able to convey how everything is connected. I have also worked with the Dean's Office at the medical school at UCLA and reviewed applications and personal statements for the US-UK Fulbright Program for 3+ years. I have helped and can help students (1) streamline their academic and professional background, skills, interests, and hobbies into a story that will make sense to an admissions office, (2) decide based on your career goals, geographical location, financial situation, and academic values, which school(s) would be best for you using college matching tools + spreadsheet formats that I have found useful, and (3) offer life coaching through asking critical questions to build trust in yourself and your intuition to make the decision that is best for you.

Public Speaking

I have presented my research and community work in psychiatry at various conferences (National Institutes of Mental Health, Fulbright Forum Berlin, American Academy of Child Psychiatry Conference, UCLA's Integrative Medicine Conference). I am also an actor with 2+ years of experience in improvisation from the Upright Citizen's Brigade which did wonders for my public speaking quality. I have trained in voice for 10+ years in musical theatre, jazz, and pop music and can share my skills in vocal warm-ups, voice care, and voice preservation in addition to speaking well.
