about how far I’ve come. Not because everything has been easy. Not because every plan worked out perfectly. But because I kept showing up. The life I’m building isn’t happening by accident. It’s the result of early mornings, hard decisions, sacrifices, setbacks, and choosing to keep going even

that were actually holding me back. For a long time, I confused looking like a good student with actually learning effectively.I thought being “serious” meant doing what everyone else did. Things I assumed were signs of discipline: • Pulling all-nighters • Studying in big groups • Using th

They were just never recognized earlier. For years, ADHD was framed around one image: the hyperactive boy who couldn’t sit still. But many women present differently. Not disruptive. Just overwhelmed. Not failing. Just compensating constantly. Not lazy. Just exhausted from masking. For some

And that’s exactly why so many people get missed. Quick note: this post is framed around biological sex and sex-based patterns. I’m using simplified language to make the concept easier to explain in a short post, especially when talking about feminine and masculine biology.  For years, ADHD w

But creative? Expressive? A little weird with it? Absolutely. Creativity has always shown up for me in strange little ways. In how I explain things, how I make content, how I turn ideas into visuals, how I connect random dots, how I make something feel like me. It does not always have to look

For neurodivergent students, the biggest barriers aren’t motivation or intelligence. They’re overwhelmed, task initiation, working memory overload, and unclear expectations. AI helps by externalizing thinking and making learning more accessible. You already know I use ChatGPT heavily. A lot of m

Building daily routines changed my productivity but not because I built some unrealistic 5 AM “perfect life” schedule. For me, consistency looks like: • Protecting my sleep schedule most of the time • Taking my meds • Drinking water like my brain depends on it (because honestly… it does) • G

I create content for students, future healthcare professionals, neurodivergent learners, and anyone trying to build ambitious goals without burning out. But different platforms = different versions of the conversation. Here’s where I hang out: Instagram Real-time student life, medicine, ho

Most people think ADHD shows up as distraction. In relationships, it looks like: forgetting to text back interrupting mid-conversation overthinking everything feeling like you’re “too much” And if you don’t understand it, it’s easy to mislabel it as not caring. But here’s what I’ve le

wasn’t about making it longer. It was about making it clearer. I used AI to audit, restructure, and future-proof my CV so it matched how medicine actually evaluates experience. Medical CVs aren’t resumes. They’re living documents that track responsibility, progression, and impact over time. AI h

Applying to medical school isn’t just one application. It’s multiple systems with different timelines, rules, and expectations. Understanding these differences early can change how you plan your cycle and where you apply. VERY different systems Quick breakdown: • AMCAS = MD (most schools) • T

from an idea into something that’s creating real change. What started as a question, why do so many premed students feel lost in the process? turned into a national research initiative, conversations across institutions, and tangible solutions built by students, for students. We didn’t just c

enough for high-achieving students with ADHD. It’s not the physical symptoms that are most frustrating. It’s the disconnect between a mind that still wants to run at full speed and a body that has completely shut down. I’d open my laptop thinking I could do something small, then sit there una

Neurodivergent students don’t need to work harder. They need systems that work with their brains. AI study tools help reduce overload, clarify expectations, and support learning without shame. They don’t replace effort or understanding. They make both more sustainable. If traditional studying

It’s about residency preference, tuition differences, OOS acceptance rates, mission alignment, and proximity to a support system. These factors shape your experience for four years. Being strategic about geography and cost isn’t limiting your ambition. It’s protecting your future. Follow for st

It was months of reflection, conversations, and honest evaluation of what I needed to succeed. This choice is deeply personal. It’s not just about letters after your name. It’s about alignment. I looked at: • Curriculum structure and how I learn best • Each school’s mission and the opportunit
