Outreach and Mentorship
Outside lab, I lead and participate in outreach initiatives to create a bridge to graduate school for students from diverse backgrounds. Through mentorship and STEM outreach I aim to attract diverse talent to science and careers in STEM. Below are select programs and outreach activities I have been part of.
Graduate Pathways to STEM
GPS is a one-day conference involving workshops and panels to inform underrepresented minorities, first-generation college, and low-income students about graduate school in STEM.
Science Penpals
Monthly exchange of letters with 6th-12th graders from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds to expose them to science.
Mentors in Teaching
Caltech Accountability Partners Program (CAPP)
I established the Caltech Accountability Partners Program (CAPP) to help undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds to apply to graduate school. CAPP is a program where graduate students and postdocs serve as accountability partners to undergraduate students and provide support, guidance, and mentorship as they prepare their graduate school applications.
