"I am an early career physician-scientist who enjoys teaching and tutoring motivated students, and was named a top 10% tutor on Wyzant in 2020.

I completed my dermatology residency in June 2022 and am currently an instructor, attending physician, and postdoctoral researcher on the faculty of Vanderbilt University Medical Center. My work combines immunology, genetics, statistics, and clinical informatics to study adverse reactions to medication. Before residency, I earned a combined MD-PhD from the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine. My PhD combined genetics and immunology to study a rare autoimmune disease called pemphigus vulgaris. I also received a B.S. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Brown University, where I earned a Phi Beta Kappa distinction and received a Teaching Assistant award for instructing undergraduates.

I am comfortable tutoring the sciences and math, but particularly enjoy MCAT and Step 1/2 instruction. I received a 43 on the MCAT and a 260+ Step 1 score. I have also edited many personal statements for college, medical school, and residency, and served as a student interviewer for medical school. My students have gone on to many T20 medical institutions and excellent USMLE scores.

In addition to enjoying all things medical, I am also a passionate evangelist for science competitions and general knowledge. I am a former USA Biology Olympiad finalist and a USA Mathematics Olympiad qualifier, and particularly enjoy working with motivated science students to help them find their path. Students I've worked with have gone on to admission to top undergraduate institutions. I am also heavily involved in the quiz bowl/trivia community, having won a college quizbowl championship with Penn, written hundreds of questions over the last 15 years, and served as a coach for a successful high school quizbowl team.

Contact me if you would like Step 1, MCAT, science, math, medical school and residency interviewing prep, or college/med/grad school/residency essay editing." less...
