Medical School Admissions Coaches

With over 20 years in medical education, I am a passionate coach and mentor to those seeking admission to medical school, as well as to medical students applying for residency programs. Having served as an MMI Interviewer I have a strong understanding of the qualities and traits that admissions committees are seeking. Working closely with medical students from first to fourth year, I have coached and mentored dozens of medical students as they navigate the residency application and interview process. I am particularly drawn to learners who are first generation college students and/or come from socio-economically challenged backgrounds. I believe medicine needs learners who reflect the patient populations they will serve and who bring intelligence, compassion, and a strong work ethic. It is my mission to help those learners achieve their goals.

I've coached several individuals through school-list creation, essay refinement, and interview preparation, ensuring they present their best selves to admissions committees. If you're looking for guidance from someone who's been through the process recently, feel free to reach out!

As someone who is first generation, both as an immigrant and a college student, I know firsthand the challenge of applying to higher education. I remember feeling adrift during the process, unsure of how to best structure my applications and highlight my strengths. I successfully taught myself how to navigate these systems.

This experience, combined with my self-taught knowledge as a first-gen student, means I am best qualified to help you on your journey through higher education.

Welcome to my profile!

I am an incoming medical student at Northwestern University, a top 15 US MD program and my dream medical school. During my application process, I interviewed at additional elite programs such as NYU and Cornell. Through tens of hours of admissions research and years of planning, I was able to develop a strategy that led to admissions success without taking any gap years. As someone with a passion for mentoring, I hope to guide other pre-medical students through building their strongest possible application that conveys their unique story, and ultimately gets them accepted into a dream program. Two applicants with the exact same experiences and metrics can craft wildly different applications and levels of admissions success. I will help ensure that your hard work, dedication, and strong fit to become a physician are highlighted to admissions committees, along with the attributes that make you stand out.
