"In 2019, I earned my Bachelor's in Biochemistry from Worcester Polytechnic Institute with a GPA of 3.9. Subsequently, I delved into the world of molecular biology and pharmacology, dedicating three years to a research laboratory at UMass Medical School where I contributed to 15 peer-reviewed publications, including 2 first-author publications.

I am currently pursuing an MD/PhD at Emory University School of Medicine – I have successfully completed the first 3 years of my medical education and currently doing my PhD in the Biochemistry, Cell, and Developmental Biology department. My thesis project is centered around antibiotic resistance and developing novel therapies to combat resistance mechanisms. My clinical interests include general surgery and trauma surgery.

Throughout my medical school journey, I have maintained a passion for teaching, rooted in my experiences as a peer tutor during my undergraduate years. Having successfully navigated test-taking anxiety myself, I am committed to helping others overcome their fears by reviewing practice problems to uncover test-taking mistakes or content knowledge gaps. This process has proven useful as I have been able to help several medical school classmates uncover test-taking mistakes and recommend corrective actions. In addition, uncovering knowledge gaps allows me to focus on high-yield material." less...
