Medical School Admissions Coaches, Events, & Resources

👩🏻‍⚕️ 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.

l have been mentoring and coaching students in the undergraduate, medical, and medical residency application process for over 25 years. My clients have been accepted to outstanding schools such as Harvard College, Harvard Medical School, Stanford University School of Medicine, University of Pittsburgh, Stanford Neurosurgery Residency, and Yale Internal Medicine Residency. All of the medical school applicants I have worked with have received multiple interviews at the very top programs. I hold a PhD in English and American Literature (with a writing emphasis) (1982) and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (1986). I taught introductory and advanced writing at the University of Massachusetts for many years and also worked for over five years as a consultant/writer/editor at Arthur D. Little, a large Boston based consulting firm. In addition to my mentorship work and work as a writer, I am a Clinical Psychologist and have been working with young adult clients for some thirty years. While I am passionate about my clinical work, I honestly enjoy applying my skillset toward working through the essay writing and application process with those applying to college and medical school. This process requires some self reflection in order to create a convincing narrative, and I love guiding my clients through this process. My goals is always to help create the most convincing and well written essays-- essays that perfectly support the student’s application. In addition to helping clients with the essay components of the application process, I also have great insight into the "tricks" of structuring and presenting the activity section of the medical school application--so that you ultimately create a cohesive and convincing picture of what you have accomplished, who you are, and how you stand out.
