Meet the Team

Mikayla started GC Prep with the goal of battling genetic counseling applicant anxiety by consolidating comprehensive (and brutally honest) knowledge of the field and application guidance into a central location. Along the way, she partnered with Janelle to add experience and depth to the curriculum. Ultimately, their vision is to make GC Prep a resource for all participants in the field of genetic counseling, from applications to managing grad school, the board exam, job hunting, and professional development.
