Med School & Grad School Admissions
Helping You Navigate the Next Big Step—with Clarity and Confidence
Whether you’re preparing for medical school, graduate school, or both, you’re likely facing some of the biggest academic and personal decisions of your life. I’ve walked alongside students at every stage of this journey—bringing together my background in educational psychology, experience in healthcare policy, and years of nonprofit leadership to offer grounded, personalized guidance.
Why I Do This Work
I’ve spent my career helping students thrive in high-stakes transitions—from high school to college and from undergraduate to advanced degrees. As the founder of a nonprofit focused on childhood cancer research and advocacy, I’ve worked closely with medical professionals, researchers, and policymakers. These experiences inform my understanding of what it takes not just to get into graduate or medical school, but to thrive once you’re there.
My approach is holistic and student-centered. I believe that applying to grad or med school isn’t just about checking boxes—it’s about finding alignment between your goals, values, and the kind of impact you want to make.
For High School Students: BS/MD and Early Medical Pathways
I support high-achieving high school students applying to BS/MD, BA/MD, and early assurance programs—offering tailored guidance for these highly competitive and specialized tracks.
Program Research & Fit
Helping families identify BS/MD programs that align with academic strengths, career goals, and student values.
Building a Competitive Profile
Strategizing early on academic rigor, clinical exposure, research opportunities, and leadership roles.
Application Support
Guiding students through the unique demands of BS/MD essays, interviews, and school-specific supplements.
Long-Term Perspective

For Undergraduate Students Pursuing Medical School: Strategic Planning Starts Early
For students planning ahead for medical or graduate school, I help develop a custom, multi-year strategy aligned with admissions expectations and your personal goals. This includes:
Core Competency Development
Mapping experiences and coursework to the AAMC’s Med School Core Competencies (or discipline-specific standards for graduate programs).
Clinical and Volunteer Experiences
Identifying opportunities that reflect your values and build relevant experience in patient care, service, and community impact.
Leadership and Research
Finding ways to meaningfully contribute to teams, labs, and organizations that develop your voice and sharpen your interests.
Course Planning
Navigating prerequisites, honors tracks, and electives that support both GPA strength and intellectual exploration.
Test and Assessment Planning
Creating timelines for exams such as the MCAT, CASPer, or GRE—including strategies for prep, evaluation, and readiness.
One-Time Service: Med School Check-Up
A Candid Conversation About Whether—and Where—Medical School Fits Into Your Future
If you’re unsure whether medical school is the right path, or whether this is the right time to apply, this one-time strategic session is designed to help you get clear—without the pressure.
In this personalized consultation, we’ll work through four essential questions:
Can you do it?
Do your academic record, clinical experiences, and core competencies align with what medical schools expect?
Will you do it?
Are you ready—mentally, emotionally, and practically—for the intensity and demands of medical training?
Should you do it?
Does pursuing medicine truly align with your values, goals, and long-term vision for your life?
Should you do it here?
Which schools, programs, or alternate paths offer the best fit for your unique strengths and aspirations?
Whether you’re a college senior, a recent graduate, or someone pivoting from another path, the Med School Check-Up offers an honest, grounded space to reflect, evaluate, and make decisions with confidence.
You bring the questions—I’ll help you find clarity.
