My work with Med School Insiders began as I sought out a professional experience that would allow me to learn more about the process of learning and how to help individuals overcome challenges in their educational pursuits.

As a mentor for Altius Test Prep, I work individually with students preparing to take the MCAT (the admissions test for medical school). I also take charge of proctoring small group-based learning sessions. I thoroughly enjoy what I do as it allows me to have a 1-on-1 relationship with students and help them overcome barriers to their learning. Through helping others, I have become convinced that anyone with enough grit and determination can succeed on the MCAT and regularly try to instill that in those I interact with.

As a lab assistant, I worked under the direction of medical providers to obtain and run samples from patients. This required phlebotomy, swabbing, and various other skills.

Through Grand Peaks Medical, I was able to complete a 10-week internship in medical assisting. This helped add upon my previous experience in lab assisting as I learned to take vitals, histories, and administer injections.

Provided excellent lawn care to clients by mowing, trimming, edging, and fertilizing lawns.
