Bio

I believe the best students don’t simply memorize facts—they understand why those facts are true. My goal as a tutor is to help you build that level of understanding so that you can confidently solve unfamiliar questions on the MCAT, USMLE, or in your medical school coursework.

I believe the best students don’t simply memorize facts—they understand why those facts are true. My goal as a tutor is to help you build that level of understanding so that you can confidently solve unfamiliar questions on the MCAT, USMLE, or in your medical school coursework.

Before medical school, I served as a U.S. Navy Nuclear Engineering Officer, where I was responsible for training and mentoring sailors operating one of the most technically demanding systems in the world: a nuclear-powered submarine. I managed portions of our qualification and continuing education program, preparing operators for rigorous Department of Energy oversight and recurring certification examinations. I later served as an Assistant Professor of Naval Science at the University of Utah, where I taught university courses in engineering, naval weapons, and military history while mentoring future military officers. Across both roles, I developed a passion for breaking down complex concepts into clear, logical frameworks that students can truly understand.

Today, I am a fourth-year medical student with a strong interest in a pathology residency. Pathology is the study of disease itself—its mechanisms, causes, and consequences—and it has strengthened my ability to teach medicine from first principles rather than through rote memorization. Whether we’re working through physiology, biochemistry, pathology, pharmacology, or difficult board-style questions, I focus on helping students recognize patterns, connect concepts, and develop the clinical reasoning that leads to long-term success. If you’re looking for a tutor who combines years of professional teaching experience with real-world leadership and a deep understanding of medical science, I’d love the opportunity to help you reach your goals.

Approved Subjects

Anatomy

Anatomy

I am a fourth-year medical student and have passed both USMLE Step 1 and Step 2. My approach to anatomy emphasizes understanding anatomic relationships and connecting structure to function, pathology, and clinical medicine rather than relying on rote memorization alone. Before medical school, I served as a university Assistant Professor and Navy Nuclear Engineering Officer, giving me years of experience teaching and breaking down technically complex material. I can help students master anatomy from introductory and undergraduate coursework through medical-school and board-exam level concepts.
MCAT

MCAT

As a fourth-year medical student and former Navy Nuclear Engineering Officer, I specialize in helping students understand the scientific principles that underlie MCAT questions rather than relying on memorization alone. My years of experience as an Assistant Professor and military instructor have taught me how to explain complex concepts in biology, chemistry, physics, biochemistry, and critical reasoning in a way that is logical, intuitive, and memorable.
Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering

I earned my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering before completing the U.S. Navy’s rigorous nuclear propulsion training pipeline and qualifying as a Nuclear Engineering Officer. I subsequently served aboard a nuclear-powered submarine in engineering leadership roles, including Assistant Engineer and Main Propulsion Assistant, applying engineering principles to complex real-world systems. I later served as an Assistant Professor of Naval Science, where I taught university-level Naval Engineering and developed extensive experience explaining challenging technical concepts. I enjoy helping students move beyond memorizing equations to understand the underlying physical and engineering principles needed to solve unfamiliar problems.
Personal Statements

Personal Statements

Having successfully navigated the medical school admissions process myself, I enjoy helping applicants tell their stories in a compelling, authentic, and memorable way. My experience as an Assistant Professor, military officer, mentor, and medical student has given me extensive experience coaching students through professional writing, leadership development, and interview preparation. I work collaboratively with applicants to craft personal statements that highlight their unique experiences while remaining clear, polished, and authentic.
Physiology

Physiology

I am a fourth-year medical student and have passed both USMLE Step 1 and Step 2. My approach to physiology emphasizes understanding mechanisms and connecting foundational concepts to pathophysiology and clinical medicine rather than relying on rote memorization. Before medical school, I served as a university Assistant Professor and Navy Nuclear Engineering Officer, giving me years of experience teaching and breaking down technically complex material. I can help students master physiology from introductory and undergraduate coursework through medical-school and board-exam level concepts.
USMLE

USMLE

I am a fourth-year medical student preparing to enter pathology residency, with a passion for pathophysiology and disease mechanisms. My tutoring focuses on helping students build a deep conceptual understanding of medicine so they can reason through challenging board-style questions. I combine current medical knowledge with years of formal teaching experience as both a university Assistant Professor and Navy instructor to help students improve their confidence and performance on the USMLE.
