I am a magna cum laude graduate of Wake Forest University, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology with minors in Neuroscience and Chemistry. With a 3.94 GPA and a 515 on the MCAT, I bring both a strong academic foundation and firsthand experience with the demands of pre-med coursework and test preparation. My studies have been complemented by hands-on research in both breast cancer metastasis and the endocannabinoid system, giving me a deeper understanding of biochemistry and experimental methods—knowledge I will enjoy sharing with students through conceptual explanations and real-world applications.
As a student-athlete on the Wake Forest Women’s Soccer team, I mastered time management and developed a disciplined, goal-oriented mindset that I will bring to my tutoring. My approach will be highly personalized—I want to meet students where they are, identify their unique challenges, and help them build confidence, mastery, and momentum over time. Whether reviewing content, tackling practice problems, or refining test strategies, I will aim to make each session efficient, encouraging, and impactful.
In addition to my academic and athletic commitments, I’ve also spent years leading service projects, coaching youth sports, and volunteering in clinical settings. These experiences have sharpened my communication skills and deepened my commitment to mentorship. I’m passionate about helping students reach their academic goals—especially those preparing for the MCAT —and I would be honored to support you on your journey.

MCAT

MCAT

I studied for the MCAT for seven months and received a 515 (129/129/128/129) in April. My background as a biology major, chemistry minor, and neuroscience minor helped me to master many key concepts on the B/B and C/P sections. I feel passionately about my ability to teach the lessons and insights I have learned effectively with my outgoing personality, dedication to helping others achieve a similar score to me, and experience with communication. Over the past four years, I have acted as a club president, member of student athlete advisory, and aide to the Wake Forest President.
