My academic journey bridges basic science and hands on patient care. I earned a B.S. in Chemistry at James University, an M.S. in Physiology and Biophysics from Georgetown University, and graduated in the top ten percent of my class with a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from the Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine. I am now a resident physician in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, where physiology, anatomy, and clinical reasoning shape every patient encounter.

My academic journey bridges basic science and hands on patient care. I earned a B.S. in Chemistry at James University, an M.S. in Physiology and Biophysics from Georgetown University, and graduated in the top ten percent of my class with a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from the Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine. I am now a resident physician in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, where physiology, anatomy, and clinical reasoning shape every patient encounter.
Teaching has marked each step. In medical school I tutored six first year students who were failing multiple systems blocks, weekly one on one sessions built spaced repetition schedules, active recall drills, and clinical links that raised their course grades from near failing to solid As and Bs. I also guide undergraduates through chemistry and physiology, tailoring explanations to visual, auditory, or kinesthetic styles. My empathy is personal, my first college exams were disappointing, and turning those early scores into As taught me which study habits waste time and retrieval practice, concept mapping, and targeted results.
I apply the same evidence based tactics to high stakes exams. Beginning Step 2 CK prep with a practice score well below target, I gained more than 50 points in six weeks and ultimately scored above 250. That experience showed me how to choose the right question banks, craft concise notes, and translate pattern recognition into test day confidence. Whether a learner needs to conquer standardized exams or classroom quizzes, I offer structure, patience, and proven strategies that maximize effort, sharpen reasoning, and build lasting success.
