I am an award-winning, final-year student in the Rutgers RWJMS/Princeton University MD/PhD program available for medical school and MD/PhD interview preparation, application/essay review and career planning. I've been featured in the news media, and I've won awards from the American Medical Association & the National Institutes of Health.
The application process is stressful and confusing. I draw on my recent experience as a former MD/PhD admissions committee member for a full admission cycle and mentor to successful medical school applicants. Please find my credentials below.

ADMISSIONS: I am a former interviewing and voting member of the RWJMS–Princeton MD/PhD admissions committee. I interviewed applicants, reviewed application packages, participated in admissions deliberations, and voted on admissions decisions for an entire application cycle. I've advised multiple applicants who were successfully admitted to medical school, including those with past failed application cycles.
CLINICAL AND RESEARCH SUCCESS: I have been successful in both the clinical and research components of MD/PhD training. I have received the following awards:
- Grand Prize of the American Medical Association Research Challenge (#1 of ~1,200 applicants)
- NIH F30 Ruth L. Kirschstein predoctoral fellowship
- Foundation for Women’s Wellness fellowship
- Several poster prizes, including tying for best poster at the National MD/PhD Student conference
- Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA), the national medical honors society, based on clinical excellence
- Harvey Waterman Medal for Excellence
I earned my PhD in Molecular Genetics in 2024. I have 20+ papers, posters, and presentations, including at major international conferences and at venues like the NIH, UPenn, and Princeton.
I look forward to learning about your goals!
Please note: The admissions process is highly competitive. I cannot guarantee or influence admission to any medical school or MD/PhD program.
