Early in my academic journey, I relied heavily on memorization. While this method helped me pass tests, it didn’t lead to true understanding. This approach was profoundly challenged when I began preparing for the MCAT, a standardized test requiring deep comprehension of undergraduate sciences.

Determined to succeed and driven by the realization that, as a future doctor, I needed to retain and understand information beyond exams, I embarked on a quest to transform my study habits. I explored techniques used by the most successful medical students and discovered the power of intuitive learning, among other strategies. These new methods didn’t just help me; they revolutionized my academic life. I excelled in my courses, tackled multiple rigorous upper-division college classes, and mastered the art of learning efficiently and effectively.

As someone who once struggled, I believe those who have faced and overcome academic challenges are best equipped to help others in similar situations. I understand what it’s like to struggle, but I was able to rise above it and achieve 99th percentile scores. Inspired by my dramatic academic improvement and a calling for leadership, I founded InsightU.
