Graduate school admissions
For applicants to PhD and master's programs in the sciences.
Why work with me
PhD in Biological and Biomedical Sciences from Harvard University, with dissertation work at Harvard Medical School / Joslin Diabetes Center under Rohit N. Kulkarni. NIH F31 Predoctoral Fellowship awardee, Sternlicht Director's Fund recipient, and a research mentor for undergraduate, PhD, and MD/PhD trainees.
I've sat on graduate admissions committees and reviewed applications; I've also written my own statements that opened doors to competitive programs. Both perspectives shape how I work with applicants.
