Admissions advising and tutoring
I do pre-health and science admissions advising for students headed to medical school and to selective science programs, remotely or in person, and science tutoring for high-school biology and chemistry in San Diego and Coronado. Bilingual support available (English / Spanish).
Why me, briefly: a Harvard PhD, a former Harvard College alumni interviewer (2021–2025), and an independent premed advisor since 2022. More about me →

Student outcomes and mentoring testimonials
Testimonials from students and families I've advised and mentored are being collected and will appear here with written permission. They focus on what the work was actually like — strategy, clarity, narrative development, interview preparation, and the confidence students built — not on outcomes I can't and won't take credit for. Admissions decisions are made by committees, not consultants.
No student names, identifying details, or quotations are published without written permission; for minors and former minors, parent or guardian permission is obtained first. Nothing here implies or guarantees a specific admissions outcome.
