I graduated from Cornell University with a B.A. in Biology and Society and currently work as a research associate at Yale School of Medicine in the Yale Scleroderma Program. My academic training is grounded in biology, chemistry, and scientific research, and my work regularly involves analyzing complex data and communicating technical concepts clearly. This background has given me a strong foundation in the scientific content and analytical reasoning skills tested on the MCAT.
I have several years of tutoring and mentorship experience working with students in both one-on-one and small group settings. As a Teach For America Ignite Fellow, I taught reading comprehension and academic skills to middle school students through structured virtual tutoring sessions. I have also worked as an academic tutor with Curious Cardinals, mentoring students exploring academic interests and independent projects related to the pre-medical track. These roles required me to adapt my teaching style to different learning needs and help students build strong study strategies and confidence.
My own MCAT experience also informs my approach to tutoring. I initially scored a 514 and later retook the exam, improving my score to a 521 after refining my study strategy and test-taking approach. Because I have navigated the exam myself, I focus on helping students simplify the preparation process, master difficult concepts, and develop efficient strategies for success on test day.
