About
Hi, I’m Mahima.
I’m a medical student at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. I graduated from USC with a B.S. in Human Biology, a minor in Health Care Studies, and an M.S. in Global Medicine.
Before medical school, I worked in medical journalism and wrote more than 400 articles. I enjoy writing, editing, and synthesizing large amounts of information into something focused, accurate, and easy to follow.
Since starting medical school, I’ve been reviewing applications for friends and friends of friends. I’ve loved learning about people’s stories and helping them reflect on their “why medicine” in a way that feels specific and honest.
It has also been rewarding to see people I’ve worked with go on to join excellent medical schools, and I’d love to extend that same kind of support to others.
The application process is already stressful and expensive, so I wanted to offer this support for free.
