Hello!
I graduated from the University of Michigan in April of 2022 with a degree in Neuroscience.

I am passionate about lifestyle as it relates to both physical and mental performance, and enjoy teaching students how to unlock their best and sharpest self.

Hello!
I graduated from the University of Michigan in April of 2022 with a degree in Neuroscience. I studied for my MCAT exam while competing for the University's Varsity Men's Rowing team, and employed the unyielding structure of that sport to aid in my test preparation. I am passionate about lifestyle as it relates to both physical and mental performance, and enjoy teaching students how to unlock their best and sharpest self.

After taking the MCAT I took my unique preparatory techniques to work at some of the big name tutoring companies. What I discovered there was that they are more interested in a once size fits all approach to test prep. They teach strategies and tips, but don't hit the depth required to tailor a study plan to an individual student. This gap is exactly reflected in my higher rate. Because I tailor individual study plans to individual students and communicate with them around the clock, I do not take on too many students at a time. I love finding the fun in working hard and taking on challenges. I've tested different wellness and lifestyle strategies to excel both as an endurance athlete and as
a student.

Before attending med school I am taking two years to pursue research interest, specifically as it related to the genetics behind autism spectrum disorder- something I began looking into as an undergrad. I currently work as a research assistant in the Young Laboratory of Genetics at Rockefeller University in Manhattan.

I took the MCAT in August 2021 after complete self study. I received a 523(131,130,130,132) and began tutoring immediately after. What I realized through my self study and by working at several big name tutoring companies, is that people are preparing for the MCAT exam the WRONG way. As a former collegiate athlete, I approach test prep in the same way I approached athletic training, holistically. In order to get an elite score, one must be elite in their preparation as well. Simply studying and learning test taking strategies is not going to get you the score th
