"I hold dual B.A. degrees in Molecular & Cellular Biology and Gender & Women’s Studies from the University of California, Berkeley, where I also served as an Undergraduate Student Instructor for general and organic chemistry. Teaching at Berkeley was where I discovered how much I enjoy breaking down difficult concepts and helping students find clarity in challenging material.

I’m currently an M.D. candidate and Master’s student in Clinical Research at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. My work focuses on immunogenetics and dermatologic disease, and I bring that same analytical mindset into my tutoring. Over the past seven years, I’ve worked with students in both academic and research settings—leading small groups, mentoring undergraduates, and training research teams. I specialize in biology, physiology, biochemistry, and chemistry, as well as test preparation for the MCAT and USMLE Step 1.

My approach is structured but flexible. I start by understanding how each student thinks, then tailor lessons to their strengths and goals. Whether we’re reviewing pathways, tackling practice problems, or organizing study plans, I emphasize clarity, logical reasoning, and strategy. My goal is to make complex topics approachable and help students build confidence through genuine understanding—not memorization." less...
