About Me

I'm currently a senior finishing a B.S. in Biology at Brooklyn College. During my time as an undergraduate I've shadowed an array of physicians specializing in various medical fields. During this time I was also fortunate enough to conduct research in a SUNY Downstate neuropathology lab. Along with my passion in the sciences, these experiences allowed me to fortify my pursuit in becoming an MD.During the summer of 2015 I sat for my MCAT examination - an entirely new beast. This was truly a life changing experience, and would certainly recommend several tactics I personally employed in fully grasping the content and critical reasoning required for this exam. In the past one could survive on raw memorization and recall power for an above-par score, but this newly structured exam requires a different approach - a more cohesive and integrated one. I'm also in a binding medical program which allows only one chance to take the MCAT and meet the required benchmark, so this was truly a one-time opportunity, a mentality I would recommend for everyone sitting for this exam. During my time as an undergraduate I taught in the Peer Health Exchange program - a program in which I traveled to various under-privileged high schools in Brooklyn and taught classes about a selected health topic. I also have experience tutoring one-on-one with students, something I personally find extremely gratifying; motivation and drive are major components of a healthy mind to absorb and retain information, and I strive to balance these with the complexity of the material at hand. Anyone can do anything, but sometimes we all need some help in getting there - I hope to help in any way possible.
