About Jean
I am a senior undergraduate student at Duke University who recently completed the medical school application process, receiving 15 interviews and planning to matriculate at Vanderbilt School of Medicine. Many of my interviewers specifically highlighted my personal statement in their compliments, and asked in depth about my secondaries. As someone without any significant X factors or super high stats, I strongly believe that my essays played a significant role in having a successful application cycle.
In addition to my application experience, I have served as a mentor for high school students and as a biology tutor throughout college. These roles have strengthened my ability to build meaningful one-on-one relationships, tailor my guidance to individual needs, and support students as they grow in confidence and self-awareness.
I also bring a strong foundation in narrative medicine. In addition to taking multiple creative writing and narrative medicine classes, as well as helping launch a Humanities in Medicine club, I have read extensively in this field and curated a collection of impactful works that explore storytelling in healthcare, offering you new ways to frame your story with depth and nuance.

I work closely with students to develop a compelling personal narrative that not only highlights their strengths and experiences but also feels genuine to who they are. My goal is not to impose a formula, but to help you identify the themes that naturally emerge from your journey and refine them into writing that is cohesive and memorable.
Having applied to nearly 50 medical schools, I am also familiar with a wide range of secondary prompts and institutional priorities. I can provide targeted guidance on how to approach different types of essays and strategically align your narrative with each school’s mission and values, while still maintaining authenticity.

I love Jean and cannot recommend her enough. She is absolutely phenomenal at what she does. She really helped my story to be authentic, compelling, and memorable. She doesn’t just edit your essays, she works with you to bring out your voice and your motivations in a way that truly resonates.
