Amoolya attended the University of Houston on a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship Scholarship and an Academic Excellence Scholarship. During college, she participated in multiple research projects in public health, behavioral science, and mindfulness, developing a strong foundation in patient-centered research and critical thinking. She later served as Head of the Clinical Research Team at ByteSense, where she led clinical research efforts involving patient recruitment, testing, and education for an innovative dental device. She also worked as a data analyst for Harris County Public Health, further strengthening her analytical and healthcare experience.
Education and mentorship have remained central to Amoolya's career. She has experience tutoring students in chemistry, organic chemistry, and the DAT. After navigating the admissions process herself, Amoolya realized that the strongest applications are rarely the ones with the highest stats—they are those that showcase character, growth, and leadership. She has mentored students through every stage of the application process, taking the time to understand who they are, what motivates them, and how to bring those qualities to life on paper and in interviews. Students she has coached have been accepted to dental schools at Texas A&M University, Texas Tech University, the University of Texas, the University of Southern California, and others.
As an admissions counselor, Amoolya believes that every student has a unique story, and her goal is to help uncover the common thread that ties their experiences together. She works with students to help them build an application that is thoughtful, cohesive, and memorable while making the application process less overwhelming.
