I graduated in 2020 from Harvard with a concentration in Chemical and Physical Biology and secondary in Comparative Literature. I am currently an MD-PhD student at Columbia, where I research the role of insulin signaling in cancer proliferation. I began tutoring in high school, where I tutored underclassmen in math, science, and Latin. In college, I did peer tutoring in physics and organic chemistry and also served as a course facilitator for introductory biology and organic chemistry. I now lead review sessions and small-group problem-solving sessions with Columbia Medical School’s Student Success Network. I have also advised on college applications for students. I believe in taking a highly tailored approach when working with each student, identifying personal goals and areas for improvement while also drawing upon my relevant experience or education in the subject being taught. In my free time, I enjoy running (especially in Central Park), playing tennis, and going to classical music concerts.
