About
Hi! 👋 I’m a UCLA medical student 🩺 currently at Stanford as a Sarnoff Fellow, working at the intersection of medicine, AI , and computer science 💻. Before medical school, I studied CS at WashU 🎓, worked at McKinsey, and then joined Gates Ventures, where I focused on digital health and primary care 🌎. Research has become a big part of what I do 🔬📚. I’ve published around 20 papers and abstracts across clinical AI, digital medicine, biomedical engineering, and clinical research, with work appearing in journals including Nature Communications, Science Advances, Advanced Science, npj Digital Medicine, and JNCI. I also love building things 🛠️ in my free time, especially open-source software and random technical projects 💻🤖. I was accepted to 10 medical schools 🎉 and received multiple full-ride scholarships 💰🎓. Since then, I’ve helped friends and other applicants navigate applications, interviews, and scholarship decisions ✍️, including helping people secure hundreds of thousands of dollars in merit scholarships 💸. Outside of work, I’m into cooking 🍳, diving 🤿, and hiking 🥾🏔️. I climbed Kilimanjaro a few years ago 🌍 and Mt. Whitney this past May 🏔️. I also play a little guitar and harmonica 🎸🎶 and am getting married this October 💍🥂.

I went through the medical school application process myself and was fortunate to get into 10 medical schools 🎉, with full-ride scholarships from multiple schools 💰🎓. Since then, I’ve helped a lot of friends and other applicants with everything from building a smart school list 📝 to personal statements, secondaries, interviews 🎤, and scholarship strategy. Several of the people I’ve worked with have gone on to receive major merit scholarships totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars 💸. I really enjoy helping applicants not just get in, but put themselves in the best possible position once the acceptances start coming in. I also scored a 525 on the MCAT 📚 and ultimately chose UCLA, where I received a full-ride merit scholarship. I know how stressful and confusing this process can be 😅, and I try to be the person I would have wanted helping me through it: straightforward, responsive, and willing to give very specific, honest feedback. My goal is simple: help you build an application that actually sounds like you, make smart strategic decisions, and avoid wasting time on generic pre-med advice 🚀.

Why do I coach?
I started helping friends with medical school applications after going through the process myself. I was accepted to 10 medical schools and received full-ride scholarships from six, and I realized pretty quickly that a lot of great applicants already have the experiences they need. They just need help figuring out how to tell their story well. Since then, I’ve helped 10+ applicants with school lists, personal statements, secondaries, interviews, and scholarship strategy 🎓. Several have received major merit scholarships totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars. I genuinely enjoy getting to know someone, figuring out what makes their application different, and helping them present the strongest version of themselves. My style is pretty straightforward: specific feedback, honest advice, and no generic pre-med clichés 🙂
