Bio

I am a current Medical Student who enjoys both learning and sharing what I know. I hope to pass my enjoyment of learning on to others.

I enjoy breaking down concepts to understandable 1st principles, which helps others understand. The school system places too large a focus on pure memorization. I feel I am able to help others develop an understanding of subjects, which is especially crucial in achieving good results and implementing lessons in the real world.
