Tasked with serving as a leader, mentor, role model, educator throughout the YWCA EmpowerSTEAM program. In addition to being responsible for creating a nurturing academic community and being responsive to the social and emotional needs of the young women ages 9-17, the program assistant supports the director in logistical planning and communicating with parents/guardians.

Responsible for assisting lab managers with daily tasks including but not limited to preparing experimental materials for Organic Chemistry I and II labs as well as Advanced Organic Chemistry Lab, ensuring all lab materials are left clean and free of chemical residue, taking inventory of chemicals.

Worked as a member of Mighty Greens, a youth organization under local non profit City Blossoms, to promote environmental and food justice throughout my community. Using the cooperative business model, myself along with the rest of my cohort cultivated and maintained student-led gardens at local high schools which are used to educate DC students on nutrition and food justice. Additionally, we created value-added products using the produce that resulted from said gardens to sell at farmers markets and donate to charities. The profits gained were largely reinvested into the gardens and the program.
