Incoming Johns Hopkins M1 | Med School Advising Through Storytelling
Hi! My name is Karina and I’m an incoming M1 at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and a recent Harvard graduate. Having recently gone through the medical school admissions process myself, I understand how difficult it can be to build an application that feels both strategic and true to who you are. My experiences as an undergraduate admissions coach, SAT tutor, and TA for various courses have given me a strong foundation for helping students reflect on their own paths to medicine. I’m especially passionate about storytelling: helping applicants connect their clinical experiences, research, service, leadership, and personal experiences into a clear narrative that admissions committees will remember. Whether you’re brainstorming your personal statement, refining your activities section, writing secondaries, preparing for interviews, or trying to make sense of the admissions process as a whole, I’m here to help you craft an application that is thoughtful and authentically you.
