Bio
Dr. Marinelli graduated magna cum laude from California State University, San Marcos, with a bachelor’s degree in biology. While attending school, she worked for a neurosurgeon, where she led clinical trials and taught biology as a supplemental instruction leader. Dr. Marinelli was accepted to multiple medical schools before attending the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine, where she served on the admissions committee and interviewed many applicants.
In medical school, Dr. Marinelli met her future husband and MedSchoolCoach advisor, Dr. David Flick.
