Undergraduate research
Apple Scholar
I was selected for the Apple Scholars program at California State University, Monterey Bay. The program supported undergraduate research, provided semester funding, and helped me develop this portfolio as a long-term home for my professional work.
STEM support
LSAMP
I was accepted into the California State University Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation program, which supported my early research development and helped make continued STEM work possible.
Mentorship
Otter Mentor
During my senior year at CSUMB, I mentored transfer and first-year students through academic stress, course preparation, and campus life. That experience reinforced how much good mentorship can affect a student's sense of direction and belonging.
