I am a Fulbright scholar and recent graduate of the Wake Forest University School of Medicine PA program. I am a board-certified Physician Assistant trained at a top-10 program, Wake Forest, with an additional Masters of Health Economics from Johns Hopkins University, the top-ranked #1 school of medicine and public health in the nation. During my undergraduate time at the George Washington University, I studied emergency medicine and biology on a Presidential Scholarship. I am also a private admissions consultant for pre-PA students, offering personal statement/supplemental essay editing, and beginning-to-end advising support.

Between undergrad and graduate school, I worked as an emergency department technician for three years in an academic Level I Trauma Center and Comprehensive Stroke Center, maintaining an active emergency medical technician certification. During this time, I also taught emergency medicine skills to undergraduates as a teaching assistant at the George Washington University.

I also completed a Fulbright Scholarship through the U.S. Department of State and served as an English Teacher in rural Malaysia, teaching English as a second language to middle school and high school students.

I tutor a wide variety of subjects, but I am most passionate about biology, English, and health economics. I particularly enjoy tutoring for NREMT test prep, anatomy/physiology, and editing medical and PA school admission personal statements. I have passed the NREMT three times, and my students have a 100% pass rate for PANCE and NREMT-B. I incorporate real-life examples from my career in emergency medicine into my lessons to help students remember key concepts and understand anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology.

I was accepted to two top-10 PA programs and scored in the 92nd and 87th percentiles for GRE Analytical Writing and Verbal Reasoning, respectively. Additionally, 100% of my personal statement clients have been accepted to medical school or PA school.

I am a huge proponent of making lessons fun, structured, and results-oriented. I am a fourth-generation educator and I absolutely love to connect with my students and get to know their learning style. In my free time, I volunteer as an English tutor with Higher Achievement, a non-profit supporting under resourced middle schools in Washington, D.C. I also enjoy hiking, yoga, running and traveling everywhere and anywhere.

I am so excited to get to know you and work together to accomplish your most ambitious academic and professional goals!
