Hi, I’m Ben!
I’m a laboratory geneticist and educational consultant. My greatest excitement comes from helping other accelerate their professional development and personal fulfillment. The unique intersection of my experiences and education allows me to help other people align their short-term goals with their long term vision (or explore what long-term vision they might desire!) I received my B.S. in Molecular Biology from Haverford College in 2017, and worked at the University of Pennsylvania Genetics department, Immunology department, and Perelman School of Medicine following graduation as the labs’ Manager and Research Specialist. At the time, I was enrolled in the UPenn Pre-Health Post-Bac, and shadowed clinical professionals across many disciplines. After contributing to the publication of two papers in the field of immunology genetics, Joint profiling of chromatin accessibility and CAR-T integration site analysis at population and single-cell levels and Genetic Variation in Type 1 Diabetes Reconfigures the 3D Chromatin Organization of T Cells and Alters Gene Expression, I transitioned to work in education. Committed to increasing the achievement potential of students, I specialized in executive functioning development and college admissions work. It became clear that there was a need for individualized instruction, coaching, and mentorship, so I started BooC Co & Best Choice Test Prep in 2020 to help connect students with caring professionals who would lead them through difficult times in their lives. After seeing the transformation and empowerment of my students, I am committed to helping everyone gain the tools they need to succeed.
