Many students fall into the trap of "telling" instead of "showing" why they are a strong applicant in their essays for medical school or residency. You have the characteristics, experiences and drive to become an amazing doctor - now let's show it through your essays and test scores!
As a tutor and graduating MD student, I have a passion for helping pre-medical and medical students elevate their writing, develop strong study habits and achieve their goals. I was drawn to mentoring as a medical student who has experienced the stress and isolation of the application process. I enjoy sharing what I wish I had known earlier to pre-medical and medical student so they can more effectively convey their stories through their applications and succeed on exams.
I graduated from Middlebury College cum laude with a BA in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry that provided a strong foundation in both the basic sciences and liberal arts, ultimately gaining admission to the Larner College of Medicine with a 520 MCAT. I am currently applying to internal medicine residency after achieving a 260 on Step 2 CK and attaining honors on all acting internships.
I provide support for students throughout the application process for AMCAS or ERAS, including brainstorming a narrative for their personal statements, mapping entries for the Work and Activities/ Experiences sections and providing detailed edits for pre-written essays. I also work with students studying for Step 1, NBME shelf exams or Step 2 to design comprehensive study schedules and develop effective test-taking strategies.
My approach is both collaborative and individualized. For students struggling with writing, I focus on zooming out to connect the dots between your experiences, finding the narrative that makes you who you are. For test prep, I find that the most successful students are the ones with an organized study plan individualized to their needs.
I look forward to working together!
