I am a graduate of the NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine, where I earned my Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) degree. My journey through the rigors of medical school transformed how I approach learning. I didn't just survive the curriculum; I had to fundamentally restructure my study habits to master Anatomy, Physiology, and Pathology. I bring this same physician-level understanding to general biology and pre-med coursework, helping students see the "big picture" rather than just isolated facts.
My teaching experience is rooted in the collaborative, high-pressure environment of medical school. During my time at NYIT, I specialized in peer-to-peer education. I led small group presentations and organized study sessions where we broke down dense medical concepts into understandable segments. I wasn't a formal professor lecturing from a podium; I was the study partner who could take a confusing 100-slide lecture and simplify it so my peers could actually digest it. This experience taught me how to identify where students get "stuck" and how to bridge the gap between confusion and clarity.
I believe the "medical firehose" defeats students because they try to memorize without a foundation. My approach is different. I don't just teach you what a cell does; I teach you why it matters in the larger system. I replicate the "study group" dynamic where we discuss concepts out loud. If you can explain it to me, you know it. I am ideal for high school or college students who feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of material.
I am here to be the mentor I wish I had—someone to help you organize the chaos of science into a structure that makes sense.
