Ivy League Neuroscience PhD at 26 | Over $1.5M in scholarships

At 26 I got my PhD in neuroscience from Cornell Medical School. At 23, I started coaching, while also leading innovative research in neuropsychiatric diseases, securing substantial NIH funding and publishing in prestigious journals. My academic journey, with a BA in Biochemistry and Neuroscience from Smith College and PhD from Cornell Medical School, has equipped me with the expertise to guide others through the PhD application process. I've successfully coached 18 individuals, helping them achieve their academic and career aspirations. I also worked as a Casing Coach for the Tri-I Consulting Club, mentoring advanced degree students transitioning into consulting roles, leveraging my experience in both academia and industry. Let's collaborate to craft a winning strategy for your PhD journey and beyond. Reach out to start your path to success!
