Started medical school at Columbia straight out of Stanford undergrad, gained admission to Columbia Business School and completed the dual degree in 5 years.

I am a medical student at the the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine. I received a 522 on my MCAT and have a background in research, healthcare consulting, and startups (as Co-Founder and CEO of an orthopedic device company). I have a special interest in students with backgrounds in entrepeneurship, consulting, and research. I love to learn about what brought people to the medical field and help students illustrate why they are a great fit for each of their dream medical schools!

I interviewed at and was admitted to 9 highly-ranked medical schools this past cycle. My experience has made me intimately familiar with the application and interview process and how to tailor one's qualifications to the values and skills individual schools seek out.

Welcome to my profile! As the Co-President of my undergraduate university's American Medical Student Association, I worked closely with our Health Professions Advising Office in designing workshops, panels, and mentorship sessions dedicated to pre-medical admissions. Now, as a current fourth year medical student and member of my medical school's Admissions Committee, I bring a wealth of firsthand knowledge about the medical school admissions process through my selection as applicant screener and interviewer. My experience on the admissions committee has equipped me with the insights needed to help applicants stand out in a competitive field. I have a strong background in Physiology & Neurobiology with active areas of Medical Spanish, Humanism, research, and advocacy. This allows me to offer a well-rounded perspective to my clients. Whether you're a first-time applicant or reapplying, I'm here to guide you through every step of the application process, from personal statements to interviews. Let's work together to craft an application that showcases your unique strengths and potential. Feel free to reach out to discuss how I can assist you in achieving your medical school goals!

I’ve worked with dozens of students applying to medical school and spent two years working with MD admissions. I’ve also served as a medical school interviewer. While I’m no longer affiliated and have no say in admissions decisions, I bring valuable insight into how the process works — with no conflict of interest. I was admitted to the three medical schools (all top programs) I applied to, with full financial support, and completed all my applications independently without external help. I can help you think through your story, select and frame impactful experiences, and craft an application that is personal, strategic, and compelling. I also guide students in supporting their recommenders to write strong letters and in building a narrative that holds together across all parts of the application. Whether you're just starting out or polishing your secondaries, I’m here to help you succeed.
