I'm a recent medical school graduate from the University of Pittsburgh and current family medicine resident at the University of Colorado. I have extensive experience in teaching, mentorship, and academic advising. My educational journey has been shaped by competitive scholarship opportunities, including the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship and Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship before medical school, as well as the Critical Language Scholarship (CLS) during medical school. These experiences have given me firsthand insight into navigating competitive applications, writing compelling personal statements, preparing for interviews, and pursuing international educational opportunities.
My teaching experience includes classroom instruction, one-on-one mentorship, and community-based education with students of different ages and backgrounds. As a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant, I taught English in Mexico, and throughout my academic career I have supported students through mentorship and educational programming. My tutoring approach is personalized, encouraging, and structured around each student's learning style and goals. I focus on building confidence, strengthening foundational knowledge, and developing practical strategies for success rather than simply memorizing information.
I'm interested in helping students prepare for the MCAT, AP courses, college and medical school applications, personal statements, and mock interviews. Having successfully navigated the medical school admissions process and multiple competitive scholarship applications, I understand the importance of presenting an authentic and compelling story. I hope to help students recognize their strengths, develop effective study habits, and approach challenging academic and application processes with confidence. My goal is to serve as both a knowledgeable tutor and a supportive mentor who helps students pursue opportunities they may not yet believe are within reach.
