Helping You Navigate Med School Admissions with Purpose & Integrity

Hey there! I’m currently a fourth-year medical student at Stanford, where my research focuses on psychiatry and neurology. Unlike many of my peers, my path to medicine was deeply shaped by the humanities. I graduated from Harvard, where I earned a rare joint concentration in neuroscience and philosophy. After college, I earned a master’s degree from Duke in bioethics, technology ethics, and science policy, and I furthered my neurophilosophy studies as a Fulbright scholar in Germany before starting medical school. I believe medical school admissions is about more than just getting accepted — it’s a rare opportunity for deep reflection and growth. When approached with purpose and intention, the process can shape how you move through the rest of your life and career. I bring a unique background to this work, drawing on years of experience supporting students during some of their most vulnerable moments — as a peer mental health counselor, a member of Harvard’s Honor Council, and a student representative on several faculty committees. I’ve developed a keen ability to understand each student’s journey and help them express it clearly, powerfully, and authentically. Choosing to work with me means more than partnering with a Harvard alum, Fulbright scholar, and Stanford medical student who has gone through this process personally — it means working with someone who has helped his own siblings through this exact process, a community member known as the go-to for college and graduate school advice, and a former admissions professional at Ardent Academy. I’d love to get to know you and help you achieve your dreams!
