My path into medicine began with a strong academic foundation in biological sciences at the University of Connecticut, where I developed a deep interest in physiology, molecular biology, and human health through both coursework and hands-on laboratory research. During this time, I worked as a lab assistant and contributed to research examining genomic stress responses and microbial diversity, experiences that taught me how to think critically, analyze complex information, and explain scientific concepts clearly. I am now continuing this journey as a medical student at Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine, where I study human anatomy, physiology, and clinical medicine at an advanced level, and I will be further expanding my research training this summer through a competitive research program with Cornell.
Alongside my academic training, I have gained extensive real-world medical experience that shapes how I teach. As a Combat Medic in the United States Army National Guard and a former Emergency Department Technician at Yale New Haven Hospital, I have performed patient assessments, assisted with procedures, and worked in fast-paced clinical environments where clear communication and strong foundational knowledge are essential. These experiences have strengthened my ability to teach others in a calm, structured, and supportive way. I work closely with students to break down difficult topics into understandable steps, using visual explanations and proven study strategies to build both competence and confidence. My goal is not only to help students improve their grades, but to help them truly understand science and see their own potential in it.
