👩🏻⚕️ I’m a Yale MD/MBA dual-degree candidate and former member of the Yale School of Medicine Admissions Committee, where I interviewed applicants and participated in holistic file review. I deeply understand what admissions teams look for and how to bring forward a student’s authentic voice. My strongest skill is helping applicants turn their experiences into compelling, memorable stories for essays and interviews. 📚 I’ve spent nearly a decade mentoring students through academic advising, essay development, and interview prep, working for companies like Inspira Advantage. My approach is highly individualized and narrative-driven: I work closely with applicants who often feel unsure about their path, helping them find clarity, confidence, and a powerful through-line in their personal journeys. Whether you’re applying to MD, MD/MBA, or postbac programs, I help you express why you, why medicine, and why now with depth and authenticity. 🏛️ At Yale, I have been Class President for the past four years and serve as a Student Ambassador during admissions events. I’ve also held leadership roles in psychiatry, health equity, and innovation, including serving on the Psychiatry Association, organizing the Yale Healthcare Conference, and representing Yale in the global Impact Investing Competition. I’ve delivered clinical care in free clinics from New Haven to San Francisco and contributed to asylum evaluations supporting trauma-informed immigration cases. ❤️ I am a first generation immigrant and the first in my family to pursue medicine. I care deeply about supporting applicants who do not come from traditional backgrounds or who may not have had structured guidance. I meet students where they are and help them express who they are with clarity and confidence so they can present the strongest and most genuine version of themselves.
