Mentor, Women in Computer Science Mentorship Program, Harvard Women in Computer Science
September 2021 - April 2022
This mentorship program provided career, academic, and professional mentorship to middle school girls interested in STEM. I mentored a middle schooler in British Columbia, Canada to help her better understand the college application process, science internship applications, and her interest in pursuing a career in STEM. Being a mentor was such a fun and insightful experience, I am glad that I was able to provide my mentee with support during this program. This was a very rewarding program, and showed me that sharing resources and help through mentorship is so fulfilling.

Seminar Instructor, Wave Learning Festival
Every-body: Exploring the Intricacies of the Human Body, July 2021
Wave Learning Festival is a student-run nonprofit committed to combating educational inequality through online seminars. This seminar delved into the intricacies of the human body by reviewing fundamental information about our anatomical systems and applying this knowledge to understand scientific papers related to these systems. In each class session, students gained an understanding of a different body system and its mechanics through interactive discussions and dissections of scientific papers, exploring the experiments in the paper and their relevance to the specific body system under examination. This course was meant to be an introduction to scientific papers to pre-college students, to better familiarize them with the components and styles of a scientific paper, especially with an eye towards how scientific papers can inform our understanding about current science and the human body itself.

Course Teacher, Harvard SPLASH
Harvard SPLASH is an annual program that exposes high school students to a diverse range of subjects not traditionally taught in the classroom. I taught the following seminars through Harvard SPALSH:
Reading Scientific Papers, April 2022
This course aimed to demystify scientific papers, and allow high school students to become more familiar with the medium of scientific literature. By breaking down the parts of a typical basic science paper, students gained the skills necessary identify familiar patterns of formatting and structure found in scientific literature.
Supernovas of STEM, April 2021
This seminar highlighted the contributions and discoveries made by women in STEM throughout history, with a particular focus on the underrepresentation of women of color in STEM fields. By teaching this seminar, I aimed to inspire students, regardless of identity, to pursue STEM.
The Story of Humanity, April 2021
This seminar was a review of human evolution from single cells to early hominids. Through this seminar, students gained a deeper yet overview understanding of how environment shaped human evolution.
