I recently graduated magna cum laude with a B.S. in Computational Biology and a minor in Psychology from the University of Rochester. During my undergraduate studies, I conducted several computational neuroscience research projects at both Georgetown University Medical Center and the University of Rochester Medical Center.

As a teaching assistant, I supported a range of courses—including Applied Statistics, Organic Chemistry I & II, Categorical Data Analysis, and Introductory Biology II. These experiences helped me develop the ability to adapt to each student’s unique learning style and effectively break down complex concepts. I love working with students of all levels and guiding them in understanding material in a way that works best for them.

As a pre-med student, I’ve built a strong academic foundation, earning a competitive GPA and preparing independently for the MCAT. I scored a 518 overall, including a 130 (98th percentile) in the CARS section. This process taught me highly effective study strategies and how to manage the extensive content covered by the exam.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions—I’m always happy to help!

Approved Subjects

ACT Math

ACT Math

As an undergraduate, I have taken several upper-level math-intensive classes including multidimensional calculus, linear algebra, quantum computing, and differential equations. Additionally, I scored an 800 on the SAT Math Level 2 exam and a 780 on the SAT Math section. I’ve also served as a teaching assistant for multiple STEM courses, where I worked closely with students to explain complex concepts and guide them through problem-solving strategies.
Biochemistry

Biochemistry

As a pre-medical undergraduate student majoring in Computational Biology, I have developed a strong foundation in biochemistry. In addition to studying for the MCAT, I have served as a TA for several STEM courses, where I helped students navigate complex scientific material. These experiences have strengthened my mastery of biochemical concepts and honed my ability to communicate them clearly and effectively to others.
Biology

Biology

As a Computational Biology major with research experience in computational neuroscience, I’ve developed a strong foundation in biology and related quantitative methods. I’ve also worked as a TA for several STEM college courses, which has helped me explain complex biological concepts clearly and effectively. Feel free to message me with any questions or attach material you’d like to go over—I’d be happy to help!
Calculus

Calculus

I have taken calc I to III as well as scoring an 5 on the AP calculus AB/BC exam. Working as a TA at the undergraduate level has given me further teaching instruction to help convey complex mathematical concepts to students of all backgrounds.
Chemistry

Chemistry

I have taken both gen chem I and II along with organic chemistry I and II as an undergraduate. I also TA'd for both organic chemistry classes for two semester. This experience has given me a strong foundation in tackling various chemistry problems and communicating complex concepts to students.
Genetics

Genetics

I have a strong foundation in genetics through my coursework as a Computational Biology major, where I’ve studied topics ranging from molecular genetics to genomics and bioinformatics. My academic background is supported by hands-on experience analyzing both DNA and RNA sequencing data using a variety of computational tools and pipelines. In addition to coursework, I’ve conducted independent research focused on Duchenne muscular dystrophy, giving me deeper insight into the genetic basis of disease and the role of bioinformatics in biomedical research. This combination of theoretical knowledge and applied experience allows me to clearly communicate complex genetic concepts and guide students in understanding both classical and modern genetic analysis techniques.
MATLAB

MATLAB

I have more than 5 years of experience programming in MATLAB. I have used MATLAB for a variety of computational neuroscience projects in the past, including EEG and fMRI data analysis. Specifically, I have used toolboxes such as EEGLAB, CONN, and SPM to perform various statistical analysis including GLM and functional connectivity. I am currently using MATLAB for my own independent research focusing on image processing for early stroke detection.
MCAT

MCAT

I scored a 518 (95th percentile) on the MCAT after self-studying for 3 months. I specialize in the CARS and Psychology/Sociology sections in which I scored a 130 (98th percentile) and 131 (97th percentile). Over the course of my studying, I developed a personalized schedule that balanced full-length practice exams, content review, and active recall techniques like Anki. My strengths include breaking down complex science topics, applying CARS strategies effectively, and managing test-day performance. I’m passionate about helping others build a strong foundation and boost their confidence for MCAT success. Additionally, I am familiar with many of the common resources utilized by students (including BluePrint, Uworld, and Jack Westin).
Neuroscience

Neuroscience

I have a strong foundation in neuroscience through both advanced coursework and hands-on research. My academic background includes in-depth study of core neuroscience topics, complemented by independent research spanning multiple projects. These projects explored areas such as auditory and speech processing, as well as the neurological effects of hypertension. I conducted data analysis using EEG and fMRI datasets, applying statistical methods and leveraging programming tools like MATLAB and Python. This blend of theoretical knowledge and technical experience enables me to clearly explain complex neuroscience concepts and guide students through data-driven approaches to understanding the brain.
Psychology

Psychology

As an undergraduate, I earned a minor in psychology alongside my degree in computational biology. Through courses such as Research Methods in Psychology, Theory of Personality, and Social Development, I developed a broad and strong understanding of psychological concepts and research practices. These classes have provided me with valuable insights into human behavior and cognition, complementing my scientific background.
R

R

I've taken several statistics and biology classes throughout college that have given me a strong foundation in statistical analysis and troubleshooting various problems in R. I've also been a TA for several semester for 2 different statistics classes, providing experience properly communicating concepts to students.
SAT Math
