Research access
Opening routes into research
At Office of Undergraduate Research events, I help students find practical entry points into labs, mentorship, and research programs—including CSUN's annual Getting Into Research event.
Teaching · Mentorship · Community
Making research feel reachable
Alongside my research, I work to make computational chemistry and research careers more approachable through teaching, mentorship, student-led discussion, and public science events.
Peer learning
A place to practice talking about science
As vice president and co-founder of CSUN's first Chemistry & Biochemistry Journal Club, I help coordinate article selection, speakers, and logistics. Meetings turn papers into collaborative conversations through figure analysis, group discussion, and student presentations.
I also contribute to Chemistry Club programs that connect current discoveries to the broader student community, including a “Breaking Science” discussion of the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics.
Outreach in practice
Meeting students where they are
From the first question about joining a lab to a public chemistry demonstration, access starts with a welcoming conversation.
Chemistry community
Science as a shared experience
Chemistry Club and ACS events create an informal way for students to encounter chemistry through visible, hands-on demonstrations and conversations with peers.
College access
Science for future researchers
For CSUNposium, I welcomed visiting high school students as they explored research posters, labs, and campus. At CSUN Science Day, I introduced local middle school students to high-pressure chemistry.
