Born in Bulgaria, Jay immigrated to St. Louis, Missouri with his family at the age of six. Jay studied at Saint Louis University before enrolling at the Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine and pursuing a Master of medical science in medical education at Harvard. He graduated from Saint Louis University with a BS in biomedical engineering, emphasizing engineering mathematics. He was a member of the Alpha Epsilon Delta, Pi Delta Phi, Biomedical Engineering, Tau Beta Pi, and Alpha Eta Mu Beta Societies. 

During his undergraduate years, Jay demonstrated his commitment to research and innovation through four years of work in soft tissue engineering and microfluidics. His entrepreneurial spirit was evident in his founding of the Engineering Health Collaborative, an organization focused on developing low-cost medical devices for medically underserved countries. His global perspective was further developed through his experience as a pre-medical fellow with the Atlantis Project in Athens, Greece, and his work on developing a novel preventative medical device for catheter-associated urinary tract infections.

After graduation, Jay's academic journey took an international turn. He became a Fulbright Scholar at the Medical University of Warsaw in Poland. Jay's next step took him to Paris, France, where he worked as a biomedical technology startup analyst with Hello Tomorrow. In this role, he focused on accelerating radical solutions to improve human and planetary health through deep tech innovations.

Jay served on the admissions committee as a medical student reviewer and interviewer for two years at the Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine. During this time he interviewed over 30 prospective applicants and sat in on every committee meeting including ranking applicants. This experience combined with his freelance work in AMCAS application editing and conducting mock interviews demonstrate his commitment to helping the next generation of medical students.

Jay has been mentoring and consulting students through the medical school application process for over five years. He has always found joy in mentoring others since middle school and beyond. He has helped learners in math, engineering, science, French, and many other subjects.

One of his favorite things is when students follow up with him when they are applying for residency. He enjoys seeing all of the things they have accomplished over the years and staying connected with them. Jay’s approach to admissions counseling is to let the student control the agenda. This allows them to tackle any area they need additional support with.

One of Jay’s greatest strengths is his positivity. He often hears from those on the pathway to medicine how advisors or professors have directed discouraging remarks toward them in the past or have told them to do one thing or another. His goal is to reframe all of those discouragements and set everyone on a path where they feel confident that they can reach their goals. Every single person is unique, and he hopes to inspire and motivate those he works with.

As a first-generation college student from an immigrant family, he had no connection or experience with anyone in medicine or higher education. Having gone through the process of applying to college and medical school on his own by scavenging for resources online, he fully understands the struggles that happen along this journey. He hopes to be able to give back and support learners through such challenges.
