265 Step 2 CK | CWRU MD + Northwestern Engineer | UPMC Resident
I'm an OB/GYN resident at UPMC with a decade of experience coaching applicants through the medical school process. I've helped dozens of students get into medical school, including several top-20 and Ivy-affiliated programs, and I've worked with applicants at every stage — from school list strategy to personal statement to interview prep. My path into medicine wasn't linear. I came from mechanical engineering and management consulting before medical school, which means I've built and coached a lot of non-traditional narratives. I know what a strong application looks like from the inside, and I know how admissions committees actually read them. I work on strategy and storytelling: identifying what's genuinely compelling about your background, cutting what isn't, and making sure your application reads as a coherent case for why you belong in medicine.
