Example support plan
Illustrative only. Every plan is built around you. Confidential. No diagnosis needed. Free intro call.
Sound familiar?
These are common places to get stuck. You don't have to figure them out alone.
Clinical rotations
You're heading to the wards and aren't sure how your accommodations apply there.
Accommodations aren't enough
You have them on paper, but you still need different ways to learn and more support.
Burnout
You're worn down from searching for support in a system with limited resources.
Wrong format, too much volume
The material arrives in one format and your brain needs another.
Three ways I can help
Use one, or combine them. You decide what you need and when.
Notes in the format you need
Your course material turned into specialized notes: outlines, plain-language summaries, audio-ready scripts, visual maps, high-contrast or large-print layouts.
Navigating resources and speaking up
Understanding the disability resources and accommodations available to you, and how to advocate for your needs with your program, faculty or disability services office. You decide what gets shared.
Same content. Your format.
Pick a format to see how one short topic changes shape. This is an illustrative example.
Topic: heart failure (example)
Heart failure is a clinical syndrome in which the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's metabolic needs, or can do so only at elevated filling pressures. It is commonly classified by ejection fraction: reduced (HFrEF), where the ventricle contracts poorly, and preserved (HFpEF), where the ventricle is stiff and fills poorly. Typical symptoms include dyspnea, fatigue and peripheral edema.
Heart failure
- What it is: the heart can't pump enough blood for the body's needs
- Two main types
- HFrEF: weak squeeze, ejection fraction reduced
- HFpEF: stiff heart, poor filling, ejection fraction preserved
- Common symptoms: shortness of breath, tiredness, swelling in the legs
Heart failure does not mean the heart stops. It means the heart isn't pumping as strongly as the body needs.
In one type, the heart muscle is weak. In the other, the heart is too stiff to fill well.
Either way, people often feel out of breath and tired, and their legs may swell.
Here's the big idea. Heart failure doesn't mean the heart has stopped. It means the heart isn't pumping blood as well as the body needs. Think of a pump that can't keep up with demand.
(pause)
Now, two main types. In the first, the heart muscle is weak, so the squeeze is reduced. In the second, the heart is stiff, so it doesn't fill well, even though the squeeze looks normal.
(pause)
What does a patient notice? Shortness of breath, tiredness, and swollen legs.
Heart failure: the heart isn't pumping as strongly as the body needs.
Two types: weak heart muscle, or a stiff heart.
Signs: short of breath, tired, swollen legs.

Who's behind this
The education system isn't always built for people who learn and think differently. Needing more time, different strategies or more support doesn't make anyone less capable of becoming an excellent healthcare professional. I want to help bridge that gap: a space where students feel understood, empowered and equipped with the tools to succeed.
I studied health and psychology, then trained in a physician assistant program. I also live with ADHD, so I know from experience how hard it is to get through a demanding program when the system isn't built for the way you learn. I faced real barriers in my own clinical training, and it changed my path. Instead of walking away, I turned it into this work.
I took part in the PAEA Future Educator Fellowship and presented at the PAEA Education Forum on inclusive, evidence-informed ways to support students with learning disabilities. My goal is simple: a space where students are supported rather than overlooked, and where needing a different way to learn is understood, not questioned.
A safe, judgment-free space
I won't share your personal information or discuss your circumstances with anyone without your permission, except where disclosure is required or permitted by law. If you want help communicating with your program, we decide together what gets shared and how.
Questions you might have
Do I have to share my diagnosis?
No. The first conversation is about what support you need, not your medical history. You decide what to share and when.
Are you a lawyer or a medical provider?
No. This is academic and navigation support. For legal advice or medical care you'll need a licensed professional, and I can help you prepare for those conversations.
How do sessions work?
Sessions happen online by video call, and materials are shared digitally in the formats you choose.
Which programs do you support?
Medical school (MD and DO), physician assistant (PA) programs and nursing programs.
How much does it cost?
The intro call is free. Individual support sessions are $50 for 90 minutes.
Is what I share confidential?
Yes. I won't share your personal information or discuss your circumstances with anyone without your permission, except where disclosure is required or permitted by law. If you want help communicating with your program, we decide together what gets shared and how.
