Hi, I'm Xavier. I'm a first-generation student and MD-PhD candidate in the Tri-Institutional program at Weill Cornell Medicine, The Rockefeller University, and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. My background includes a B.A. in Health and Human Sciences from USC, where I graduated magna cum laude, and research at UCLA and the National Institutes of Health. I coach students preparing for the MCAT and applying to MD and MD-PhD programs. I especially enjoy helping people connect the dots between their experiences, clarify why they want to pursue medicine, and communicate what excites them about research. My style is supportive, direct, and practical. We will focus on what you need most, whether that is a stronger essay, a more focused study plan, or practice explaining your ideas in an interview. I want you to leave each session knowing what to work on next and why it matters.
