Coach, mentor, and tutor

Stanford-educated, Humboldt-grown
I was born and raised in Eureka, California. As someone who benefited from the public school system growing up, I understand the goal to trek a path for oneself and set high ambitions. This led me to Stanford, where I graduated with my Bachelor in Science in Biology and am headed to Georgetown to pursue my Master in Science in Physiology (expected graduation in 2027).
A coach at heart
I have served as a U.S. Soccer Grassroots center soccer referee during the NorCal State Cup, a middle school soccer coach, a mentor for National Geography Bee competitors from all over the country over Google Plus, and a peer tutor for all four years of high school. In college, I spearheaded the interdisciplinary peer review for the Stanford Journal of Public Health as 1 of 14, and I am a published author with over 120 citations in a peer-reviewed medical and scientific journal; I know how to mentor with high standards.
Experienced life mentor
I also work outside the K-12 and undergraduate settings; I am a life mentor and have trained professionals between ages 30-40 with proven multi-month habit adherence after following my flagship 6-week neuroscience-backed protocol. Testimonial from one of my clients, an attorney: “Samy provided an amazing service. I genuinely gained so much value and experienced a significant change in lifestyle by following the protocols established by Samy. He took the time to understand my needs, my issues, and established achievable goals and methods for successfully attaining them. In addition, the program being so narrowly tailored enabled me to feel the personal touch and definitely attributed to my success in this program. I would highly recommend this program to anyone seeking to reach their maximum potential in their career, mental health, physical health, and overall life.”
