Bio

I love learning and I love watching people light up when they learn new things. I believe that everyone is capable of not only reaching, but surpassing, the expectations they have for themselves.

Medicine is a very collaborative environment. Most of our learning is done by teaching and learning from our peers. Additionally, in my years as a student I have trialed every study method imaginable. As such, I think I am in a unique position to help other students get the most out of the time and effort they put in to studying as I can adapt my teaching to their learning style.

History
