Summary
Current medical student at the University of Western Australia with a background in the biomedical sciences and some experience with laboratory research at the Australian Centre for Blood Diseases (ACBD). Having completed a Bachelor of Biomedical Science at Monash University, I have gained experience in research theory and developed a solid foundation in biomedical concepts, including anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, epidemiology, genetics, biophysics, biochemistry, embryology, infectious diseases, immunology and pathology. I also have experience in the tutoring field, having worked as a chemistry, biology and mathematics tutor for secondary school students for two years. I have now since shifted my focus to helping aspiring medical and dental students with the GAMSAT, an exam for post-graduate entry to medical and dental schools across Australia.
