I bring the perspective of both a high-scoring test taker and a physician with real clinical training. I scored a 258 on Step 2 CK, earned my MD from UCLA, and completed a general surgery intern year at Weill Cornell, giving me a strong foundation in the clinical reasoning, surgical management, and next-best-step decision-making tested throughout medical school clerkships and Step 2 CK. I specialize in helping students prepare for the Step 2 CK, and clinical rotations through structured review of UWorld/NBME-style questions. Rather than simply reviewing facts, I teach students how to recognize patterns, avoid common traps, and build repeatable frameworks for approaching clinical vignettes. My approach is ideal for students who are putting in the work but not yet seeing that effort translate into scores. Together, we identify where their reasoning breaks down and turn missed questions into clear, practical decision trees they can apply on test day.
