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.

After her son was born, Dr. Marinelli stepped away from clinical medicine and joined MedSchoolCoach. Since that time, she has mentored and assisted hundreds of students in the medical school admissions process and brings a wealth of experience serving on both medical school and residency admission committees.
