I attended Bowdoin College, where I studied biochemistry, one of my favorite MCAT subjects. After graduating, I began conducting neuroscience research at Mount Sinai in New York City, studying sex-specific stress responses and how individuals perform under pressure.

I approach the MCAT the same way I approach research: analytically and systematically, with a focus on performance under stress. The MCAT is a demanding, high-stakes exam, and success requires more than content mastery; it requires disciplined thinking and strategic decision-making under pressure.

Having taken the exam recently, I understand the most up-to-date material and testing patterns students will encounter. The MCAT follows a structure. With the right strategy, students can learn to recognize predictable distractors, avoid common mental blocks, and walk into test day confident that they prepared effectively.

I work best with driven, highly motivated students who know they are capable of more but feel stuck or overwhelmed, and who are looking for structure, accountability, and clear direction. In our 1:1 sessions, students develop a strategic approach to the MCAT: thinking through passages efficiently, eliminating answer choices with precision, and managing timing deliberately.

Performance on this exam is shaped not only by knowledge, but by cognitive framing and confidence under pressure. We train pattern recognition and decision-making while strengthening focus, stress regulation, and mental endurance. Each session centers on systematically breaking down passages and diagnosing mistakes at their source, ensuring improvement is targeted and lasting.

Students improve when they stop chasing endless content review and start training in decision-making. Real progress comes from refining passage strategy, recognizing recurring exam patterns, and building efficient test-day habits. My coaching style is direct, tactical, and supportive. Students always know what they are working on, why it matters, and how to execute it. My goal is not only to help students succeed on the MCAT but to help prepare them for the mindset required in medical school and beyond.

Outside of work, I enjoy running, discovering new matcha spots in the city, and spending time with my senior cat, Omar.
