"I hold a strong passion for both teaching and mentorship, with over a decade of experience helping students succeed across academic levels in STEM—particularly aspiring clinicians and health science professionals. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Biology from UC San Diego, where I built a strong foundation in the life sciences and developed a deep interest in neuroscience. I later completed my M.D. at Loyola Chicago, gaining advanced biomedical training through rigorous coursework and clinical experience. I am currently applying to Neurology residency programs, a specialty that bridges my love for science, clinical problem-solving, and education.

Throughout my journey, I’ve taught and tutored students from K–12 to graduate-level in core STEM subjects including biology, chemistry, physics, and math—from Algebra and Geometry to AP Calculus and college coursework. I specialize in simplifying difficult concepts and guiding students through logical problem-solving strategies. My medical background allows me to support students in advanced topics such as physiology, anatomy, microbiology, immunology, and pharmacology. I’ve helped pre-med, nursing, PA, pharmacy, EMT, and veterinary students master foundational content, clinical reasoning, and prepare for exams.

My teaching style is grounded in conceptual understanding and visual learning. I incorporate diagrams and stepwise illustrations to break down complex material, especially in systems-based subjects like physiology and biochemistry. I also emphasize independent study techniques that improve efficiency—such as active recall, prioritizing high-yield content, and structured review schedules. My goal is to help students not just succeed in one class, but become confident, independent learners long-term." less...
