Meet Deana, (pronounced Dee-na), one of our medical school admission advisors. Deana brings extensive insight into medical school admissions from her time at Stanford University School of Medicine as a Senior MD Admissions Officer. She actively evaluated applications, facilitated interview days, and played a key role in the MD Admissions Committee. Prior to Stanford, at Brown University’s Warren Alpert Medical School, she guided non-traditional and underrepresented MD and DO applicants within a Special Master’s Program integrated with the medical school.
As an alumna of Boston University and Providence College, her academic career began as a high school teacher and college counselor. Deana actively contributed to Brown University’s Inaugural Undergraduate Admissions Counselor Advisory Board and held dual roles at Northeastern University, contributing as a seasonal reader within the undergraduate admissions department and as a committee letter writer for the pre-health advising programs.
In 2022, Deana co-authored a publication focusing on the paths of pre-health high school students showing her dedication to student advocacy and mentorship across both medical school and undergraduate admissions.
