Bio

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from Brown University, where I graduated with a 3.97 GPA, and an MPhil in Biochemistry from the University of Cambridge, where I received a selective scholarship from Trinity Hall College. I am currently in my second year of an MD/PhD program, building on my foundation in the biomedical sciences.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from Brown University, where I graduated with a 3.97 GPA, and an MPhil in Biochemistry from the University of Cambridge, where I received a selective scholarship from Trinity Hall College. I am currently in my second year of an MD/PhD program, building on my foundation in the biomedical sciences. I completed all standard pre-medical coursework with strong performance and scored in the 92nd percentile on the MCAT. I also received a Global Undergraduate Award for my research paper and several Sprint Undergraduate and Teaching Awards at Brown.

I have served as a teaching assistant for Immunology, Biochemistry, and Bioinorganic and Biophysical Chemistry, deepening both my subject expertise and my ability to communicate complex material clearly. I currently mentor premedical and college students navigating their path toward higher education, offering guidance on coursework, applications, and the broader journey ahead.

I have extensive tutoring experience with students ages 5 to 60, in person and online, through Petey Greene and Varsity Tutors, where I received positive student reviews. My approach is highly individualized: I adapt to each student's age, background, learning preferences, and goals. I often work on a visual level, using diagrams and visual representations to show the structure behind a concept rather than encourage memorization. I break topics into smaller, foundational building blocks to strengthen logical reasoning before layering on complexity, and I use analogies and real-life examples to make abstract ideas concrete. Whether working with a younger student building foundational skills or a college or pre-medical student tackling advanced coursework, I aim to make complex material approachable and engaging while helping students become increasingly independent learners.

Approved Subjects

Anatomy

Anatomy

My qualifications in anatomy are built on a progression of study that spans high school, college, and medical school. I first took anatomy and physiology in high school, followed by a dedicated physiology course in college, giving me an early and reinforced foundation in how the body's systems function. As a medical student, I've been immersed in an intensive anatomy curriculum, including hands-on experience in a cadaver lab, which has given me a detailed, three-dimensional understanding of human structure that goes well beyond textbook learning. Together, this progression from early foundational coursework to advanced, hands-on medical school training gives me a thorough and applied command of anatomy at every level.
Biochemistry

Biochemistry

My qualifications in biochemistry are rooted in years of dedicated study and hands-on teaching experience. I hold an undergraduate degree in biochemistry along with a research-based master's in the field, giving me both foundational and advanced training in the subject. I also served as a teaching assistant for biochemistry during my undergraduate years, developing a strong ability to break down complex concepts for other students. My coursework extends well beyond core biochemistry into biophysical and bioinorganic chemistry, giving me a deeper, more interdisciplinary understanding of molecular and chemical processes than a standard biochemistry background alone.
Biology

Biology

My qualifications in biology are grounded in both rigorous coursework and hands-on teaching experience. I've completed coursework in immunology, virology, biophysics, and anatomy and physiology, giving me a broad and interconnected understanding of biological systems from the molecular to the organismal level. I've also served as a teaching assistant for both immunology and biochemistry, sharpening my ability to explain complex material clearly and effectively. As a second-year medical student, I bring a strong, current grasp of preclinical topics, allowing me to connect foundational biology concepts to their real-world clinical applications. Together, this combination of academic breadth, teaching experience, and ongoing medical training gives me a well-rounded and up-to-date command of biology as a subject.
Chemistry

Chemistry

My qualifications in chemistry span a solid foundation built through coursework, teaching, and tutoring experience. I've completed coursework in general chemistry, organic chemistry, and biophysical and bioinorganic chemistry, giving me both broad and specialized exposure to the field. I served as a teaching assistant for biophysical and bioinorganic chemistry, a course whose first half reviews core inorganic chemistry topics in depth, further strengthening my command of that material. For the past two years, I've also tutored high school chemistry and AP Chemistry, giving me hands-on experience meeting students where they are and translating advanced concepts into accessible terms. Together, this combination of coursework, teaching, and tutoring experience gives me a well-rounded and applied understanding of chemistry, from the introductory to the college level.
College Counseling

College Counseling

With a bachelor's from Brown University, a master's from Cambridge, and an MD-PhD from Columbia, I've navigated the admissions process at some of the most competitive institutions in the world firsthand. This breadth of experience across undergraduate, graduate, and dual-degree programs gives me a nuanced understanding of what distinguishes a strong application at each level. I also actively mentor current Ivy League students pursuing graduate degrees, keeping my insight into admissions trends current and grounded in real outcomes. Together, this combination of personal achievement and ongoing mentorship gives me a well-rounded, insider perspective on what admissions committees are truly looking for.
Neuroscience

Neuroscience

My qualifications in neuroscience come from a progression of coursework spanning both foundational neuroscience and clinical neurology. At Brown University, I completed all three introductory neuroscience courses along with a neuroengineering course, giving me both a broad grounding in core neuroscience principles and exposure to the more technical, applied side of the field. As a medical student at Columbia, I've also completed my preclinical coursework in neurology, deepening my understanding of the clinical presentation and management of neurological conditions. Together, this combination of undergraduate neuroscience training at Brown, engineering coursework, and medical school clinical study at Columbia gives me a well-rounded and multi-institutional understanding of neuroscience, from the fundamental to the clinical level.
Personal Statements

Personal Statements

My qualifications for guiding students through personal statements come from both sides of the admissions process: getting in, and knowing how to write. I hold a bachelor's from Brown University, a master's from Cambridge, and an MD-PhD from Columbia, having navigated undergraduate, graduate, and dual-degree admissions firsthand at some of the most competitive institutions in the world. I also mentor current Ivy League students applying to graduate programs, which keeps my understanding of what admissions committees are looking for current and grounded in real outcomes. On the writing side, my background spans nonfiction, essay-based history coursework, Spanish-language articles, and fiction writing, alongside AP English Language in high school and two college-level courses—Drama and Writing 101—taken during my senior year. This combination of insider admissions experience and cross-genre writing training allows me to help students craft personal statements that are not only well-written, but strategically shaped to stand out to the committees reading them.
