"I am currently a podiatric medical student at the New York College of Podiatric Medicine, where I have completed extensive coursework in anatomy, neurology, physiology, and clinical medicine. My training is has a strong emphasis on board-style learning and application. I am preparing for podiatric medical boards and have a solid foundation in high-yield study strategies and test-taking skills.

Prior to medical school, I earned my undergraduate degree at Penn State University, where I served as a teaching assistant for multiple upper-level biology and psychology courses. In these roles, I led review sessions, assisted with lab instruction, clarified complex concepts, and supported students. I also worked as a tutor for student-athletes at Penn State, providing one-on-one academic support in multiple courses. This involved working closely with college students of varying academic backgrounds and learning styles.

In addition, I have experience as an EMT class instructor, where I taught emergency medical concepts and clinical skills to learners preparing for certification. I developed lesson plans, led classroom instruction, and focused on ensuring students understood both foundational concepts and real-world application. I currently work as a running coach with Fleet Feet and volunteer as a pacer for a local run club, where I regularly teach biomechanics, injury prevention, and training principles. This has strengthened my ability to communicate complex scientific and anatomical concepts in a clear, practical way.

My tutoring approach focuses on building true understanding rather than memorization. I emphasize breaking down complex material into manageable concepts, using visual aids and clinical correlations, and teaching students how to approach and think through exam-style questions. I primarily work with high school, college, and graduate-level students in one-on-one settings, both in person and virtually, and I tailor each session to each student’s learning style, goals, and academic needs." less...
