Columbia Anesthesiology Resident | Residency Applications & Interviews

I'm an anesthesiology resident at Columbia/NewYork-Presbyterian and a University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine graduate. Columbia's anesthesiology program has ranked among the top 10 for reputation in Doximity rankings, and Pitt has ranked among the top 15 medical schools for research in U.S. News. During my own residency application cycle, I received 18 anesthesiology interview invitations, including 10 at Top 20 programs. I bring that firsthand experience and a current resident's perspective to helping applicants communicate their strengths and goals. I have coached 20+ residency applicants. My broader advising experience spans more than six years and 200+ hours of paid consulting across medical school and residency admissions. I serve as a residency admissions mentor through the American Society of Anesthesiologists and received Pitt School of Medicine's 2024 Mentorship Award. I help applicants develop an application strategy, build an authentic narrative, refine personal statements in their own voice, and prepare through mock interviews. You'll receive clear, specific, actionable feedback tailored to your experiences and goals, with a focus on presenting your readiness for residency with confidence.
