About Me
Hi! I am a 3rd-year PhD student in Neuroscience at Paris-Saclay University. My journey began in 2021 when I moved to Paris with a fully funded IDEX scholarship to pursue my Master’s in Life Science and Health (Neuroscience major). In 2023, I transitioned into my PhD, continuing to explore how the brain processes and modulates information. Over the past four years, I have guided numerous students through graduate and Erasmus Mundus applications—from crafting strong SOPs and CVs to preparing for interviews, IELTS (7.5), and GRE (321). I am here to offer pragmatic, no-jargon mentorship - the kind of guidance I wish I had when I started my journey. Whether you are polishing your application or planning your next academic move, I am happy to help you make it happen.
