Hello! I am currently a second-year dental student at Marquette University School of Dentistry, where I have consistently ranked near the top of my class, peaking at #1. I graduated from St. Norbert College with a degree in Biomedical Sciences and maintained a 4.0 GPA throughout my studies. During my undergraduate years, I had the opportunity to tutor fellow students in courses such as General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Biology (etc.).

Hello! I am currently a second-year dental student at Marquette University School of Dentistry, where I have consistently ranked near the top of my class, peaking at #1. I graduated from St. Norbert College with a degree in Biomedical Sciences and maintained a 4.0 GPA throughout my studies. During my undergraduate years, I had the opportunity to tutor fellow students in courses such as General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Biology (etc.). This experience not only deepened my understanding of these subjects but also helped me develop effective teaching techniques tailored to individual learning styles. Additionally, I scored a 25 AA (510 AA) and a 27 TS (550 TS) on the DAT, which has given me valuable insight into the preparation strategies necessary for success on this exam.
My tutoring approach emphasizes evidence-based study methods such as active recall, spaced repetition, and memorization techniques supported by scientific research. I have worked primarily one-on-one with high school and undergraduate students, adapting my teaching style to meet their unique needs and learning preferences. I also focus on building confidence and fostering productive study habits, especially when preparing for standardized tests, as I believe mindset plays a crucial role in academic achievement.
In addition to academic tutoring, I offer guidance to pre-dental students navigating the application and interview process. I have experience mentoring students during my undergraduate career as an officer in our pre-dental club. I was accepted to dental school with a scholarship after applying to just one program thanks to a strategic and organized approach to my application and interview preparation. With information from professional interview and application mentors, I put together a simple but effective system that I share with others. I include an application tracker/organizer, interview prep materials, etc. Guiding students through this competitive process and seeing them succeed is something I’m passionate about.
