Guide for Academic Success is Finally Under Production...
You will be notified first, I promise.
Giving a little context.
First, I need to start by saying this has been one of the most difficult and rewarding weeks of my life as I have been working nonstop on the guide for academic success. Every second between classes, projects, work, and content creation has been dedicated to making the most comprehensive guide for all of you and I could not be happier about it.
Where did all of this start? Good question so let me give you a little context.
For the last several years, I have been making content sharing study tips that I have learned from my experiences as a dean’s list biomedical engineering student considering both personal applications and research.
Recently, I won my University’s entrepreneurship co-op scholarship which grants me 6 months away from studies to focus on my social media platforms. I’ve decided to spend the extra bandwidth creating more content, but also engaging with many of you more through DM voice messages and live calls in an effort to help more extensively with your academics.
This has been such a joyful adventure as there is nothing more satisfying than seeing the light bulbs click in many of your minds as you recognize that studying isn’t necessarily complex in and of itself, but rather you haven’t been taught the right ways to study most effectively. In addition, there was so much unknown about the career path in terms of interviewing and resume writing, etc. that was adding additional stress and anxiety for many of you too.
The last four years while in university, I’ve gone through over 30 job interviews at top pharma companies, start-ups, and medical device companies. I’ve received more than 15 offers, accepted two 6-month long ones, and therefore been fortunate to build a professional network along with a decent income stream. Through these experiences, I’ve been able to learn so much about the whole process of internships and I was able to share that with many of you.
Epiphany.
After doing an ample number of these calls the last several weeks, something became abundantly clear which is that so many of you simply don’t have access to this type of guidance. Recognizing the fact that doing these calls with every single one of you wasn’t viable due to how time consuming they can be (I love to ramble and provide as much information as possible in these calls as I genuinely care for your guys’ success haha), I decided to pivot and do what I do best: speak to all of you and ask directly how I can help.
SO many of you asked for a guide going over all the aspects of excelling academically, as we all know being a student isn’t solely about learning techniques, but also about how to manage your time, how to prioritize self-care for both the mind and body, how to prepare for interviews, how to write resumes, and so much more.
I was very hesitant at first simply because I knew how long that would take, but after reminding myself of my purpose with social media which is to leave a positive impression on as many of you as possible, I stopped making excuses, changed my schedule, and decided to take on this massive project.
AND I HAVE BEEN LOVING IT. I genuinely cannot wait for it to be released and I was actually able to expedite the timeline a few weeks ahead so we should be seeing it by the end of June!
Full transparency.
Let me give you the structure of how this is all going to play out so that there are no surprises!
It will be a fully online product so that anyone anywhere in the world can get immediate access without worrying about shipment + additional fees
Because you guys are literally the kindest human beings ever, many of you had DM’d me giving honest numbers in terms of how much you were willing to pay and let’s just say those numbers were VERY generous
But after having spoken to many of my community members in India, Pakistan, Philippines, South Africa, and Indonesia, I realized that type of pricing would make the guide inaccessible for many of you
That is why we decided to cut the price massively from those suggestions and also apply regional pricing! These numbers still have to be ironed out, but we are looking to make the guide $45-60 USD and then $35 USD for those countries listed above!
I will continue to speak to as many of you as possible before launch day and will add more countries to that list as needed because I genuinely just want as many of you as possible to have access and enjoy it!
Each weekly newsletter will begin with an update on the launch date so you guys will be first to know and have access
As I’m still in the midst of writing the guide, please leave me comments here if you have any suggestions on topics to cover!
I love you all so much and thank you for joining me along in this process. You guys are family!

I'd love to hear about how you decide exactly what you are going to commit to. I really struggle with overcommitting and burning out or undercommitting and not challenging myself.
Congrats on winning that co op scholarship! And I cannot wait for the guide to come out, def will be saving my money for it 😄 Cant wait for the weekly updates!
