For pre-med students preparing applications.

Why work with me

I've been an independent premed advisor since 2022. I attended UT Southwestern on a full-ride Presidential Scholarship, completed the preclinical curriculum and clinical clerkships, and withdrew to pursue a research-first career — so I bring a current, inside view of medical training, the application cycle, and how committees evaluate candidates with research backgrounds.

My PhD training (Harvard / Joslin) and postdoctoral work at top diabetes centers also make me an effective fit for MD/PhD or research-heavy MD applicants.

Who this is for

Pre-med students at any stage — early planning, application year, or reapplicants. Traditional applicants and non-traditional paths (post-bacc, career-changers, MD/PhD candidates).

Format

Sessions are 60–90 minutes. I take a limited number of full-cycle clients each season; shorter essay-review engagements are also available. Remote and in person (San Diego/Coronado). Bilingual English / Spanish.
