Bio

I help pre-nursing and nursing students improve their test scores and truly understand difficult subjects like anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and pathophysiology.

I hold a Doctor of Medicine (MD) and am currently completing an accelerated BSN, with extensive experience tutoring students in TEAS prep, A&P, and ATI-style exams.

My approach focuses on breaking complex topics into simple, testable patterns. I use practice questions, clinical reasoning, and memory strategies to help...

I help pre-nursing and nursing students improve their test scores and truly understand difficult subjects like anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and pathophysiology.

I hold a Doctor of Medicine (MD) and am currently completing an accelerated BSN, with extensive experience tutoring students in TEAS prep, A&P, and ATI-style exams.

My approach focuses on breaking complex topics into simple, testable patterns. I use practice questions, clinical reasoning, and memory strategies to help students who feel overwhelmed or stuck gain clarity and confidence quickly.

I also have experience working with students who have learning differences, and I adapt sessions to be structured, supportive, and low-stress.

If you’re preparing for the TEAS or struggling in nursing school, I’d love to help you feel more confident and improve your performance. Feel free to reach out!

Approved Subjects

MCAT

MCAT

I hold an MD and scored in the top 5% of test takers on the MCAT Biology section. I have extensive training in biology, physiology, and pathophysiology through both medical school and clinical experience. I also have passed the USMLE Steps 1 and 2. I have years of clinical experience that help to translate biological concepts into high-interest and memorable clinical scenarios. I have experience leading problem-based learning groups for medical students as well.
Pharmacology

Pharmacology

I excelled in advanced pharmacology during medical school and applied this knowledge extensively during clinical rotations across pediatrics, OB-GYN, and both outpatient and inpatient medicine. I have experience tutoring nursing and health-science students in pharmacology, helping them understand mechanisms of action, indications, side effects, and clinical decision-making. I specialize in using problem-based learning and real-world clinical scenarios to make pharmacology logical, memorable, and easier to apply on exams and in practice. My goal is to help students move beyond memorization to true understanding and confidence.
TEAS

TEAS

I scored in the 99th percentile on the TEAS exam in 2023 and bring a strong background in high-stakes standardized test performance across the sciences. My experience includes excelling on exams such as USMLE Step 1 and Step 2, the MCAT, and earning National Merit Semifinalist recognition on the SAT. I have experience tutoring nursing and pre-health students in the core science content tested on the TEAS, including biology, anatomy, physiology, and test-taking strategy. I focus on helping students understand concepts efficiently, manage test anxiety, and apply proven strategies to maximize their scores.
Volleyball

Volleyball

I am a former competitive club volleyball player and collegiate athlete, earning First Team All-City honors in San Antonio and First Team All-Conference recognition at St. Edward’s University (NCAA Division II). I have coached middle school volleyball in a private school setting, coached 13-and-under club volleyball teams, and provided private lessons to youth athletes. My coaching focuses on strong fundamentals, skill progression, and confidence-building, with instruction tailored to each athlete’s age, ability, and goals. I am experienced in working with developing players and helping them build solid technique and game awareness.
