Courtney is a graduate of Occidental College, where she earned her degree in biochemistry with a minor in computer science, graduating summa cum laude. After scoring a 523 (99th percentile) on the MCAT, she began working as a medical scribe in Stanford’s Family Medicine Clinic, gaining firsthand experience in patient care and clinical decision-making.

With a background in research—including a Fulbright fellowship in Spain studying genetic biomarkers for Long COVID—Courtney enjoys thinking critically about science and its applications in medicine. She previously worked as a chemistry teaching assistant, where she learned how to explain complex concepts in a clear and accessible way. She applies this same approach to MCAT tutoring, helping students build confidence and tackle the test with a strategic mindset.

Courtney understands how challenging the MCAT can be and strives to create a supportive and individualized learning environment. She tailors her approach to each student’s strengths and learning style, focusing on both content mastery and test-taking strategies. She helps students navigate difficult topics and develop a plan that works for them.

Courtney understands that preparing for the MCAT is a demanding process, but with the right support and strategies, students can reach their goals. She is also fluent in Spanish and passionate about improving communication in healthcare.
