Welcome to my profile! As a current M.D./Ph.D. student at the University of Miami School of Medicine and a dedicated researcher at the University of Miami and Miami Cancer Institute, I bring a wealth of knowledge and firsthand experience to the medical school admissions process including MSTP (M.D./Ph.D. Program) admissions. With a background in Biological Sciences from the University of Pittsburgh, where I graduated summa cum laude and was actively involved in research and teaching, I have a strong foundation in the sciences. Over the years, I have successfully coached dozens of aspiring medical students, helping them navigate the complexities of the application process and secure spots at top medical schools including University of Pittsburgh, University of Pennsylvania, USC, among others. My approach is personalized and comprehensive, focusing on everything from crafting compelling personal statements to acing interviews. Let's work together to make your medical school dreams a reality!
