About
I am a graduate of Midwestern University College of Dental Medicine and currently work in Private Practice. I attend an Endodontic residency program at the University of Kentucky. Before pursuing dentistry I worked as a Biomedical researcher obtained a degree in Fashion design and worked in the NYC Fashion industry. I understand the path of traditional and non-traditional students trying to get into dental school and residency programs and want to share my knowledge and expertise. I have been tutoring and coaching for over 15 years. Since 2017 I have coached about 200 students to get into dental school and dental residency programs.

Why do I coach?
I have been mentoring and tutoring students since I was an undergraduate at Rutgers University. It began as tutoring but slowly evolved to helping high school and pre-dental students with applications, personal statements, and test prep. My coaching style is very personalized to what my clients need. I prefer a hybrid method that involves virtual meetings along with independent working time to help you reach your goals, but if you want someone who only talks to you over text or someone who only talks to you over Zoom - I'm flexible! Let's figure out what works for us.
