To provide free preparation to the MCAT, I create weekly content and passage walkthroughs for students around the country to use. Preparing for the MCAT is extremely expensive from books to practice questions and tests and Shemmassian has allowed me to prioritize creating free comprehensive resources for every pre-medical student to use.At Shemmassian, I am also a one-on-one MCAT tutor. I craft study schedules, prepare lessons, and adapt my teaching styles to various student learning styles. Multiple of my students have seen double-digit score increases on retakes and have scored in the 100th percentile.

Selected as one of ten students across the country to take part in the Winship Summer Scholars Research Program at Emory University.

After further analysis, this project was submitted to the 2016 American Society of Hematology Conference in San Diego, CA where we were published.
