...couldn't be happier in my career as a surgeon in training. I have ever since been "paying it forward," educating high school and college level students, and now medical students.

Now that I have some free time while doing research, I'm excited to give students...

...be feared. My tutoring style is very focused, fun, and relaxed. I believe students do best when in a calm, encouraging atmosphere.
