About Carlene
Organic chemistry is rarely mastered through memorization alone. I admit that I struggled with visualization before I started sketching every single transition state myself. My 2 years of experience at the Perelman School of Medicine taught me how to break down complex synthesis pathways, alcohols, ethers, and elimination reactions into manageable steps.
I bridge the gap between IUPAC nomenclature, SN1 reactions, and SN2 reactions through rigorous analysis. Do you find yourself getting lost when analyzing retrosynthesis?

Drawing mechanisms until the logic clicks into place is how we function here. I am usually sketching while explaining the movement of electrons so you can see the AAMC testing patterns clearly.
These sessions pull from my clinical training to ensure you understand why specific molecular arrangements matter for exam success. Logic rules the board. Can you identify the nucleophile in this specific reaction?
