I’m part of the Research Training Initiative for Scientific Enhancement Program (RISE) at CSU, Fresno. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded RISE (Research Training Initiative for Scientific Enhancement) program is designed to assist underrepresented students to attain their doctoral degrees in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. The Fresno State RISE Program supports research training for students who are interested in developing professional careers as research scientists.

I create lesson plans and worksheets so that students can practice relevant skills for the course. I usually managed a small group of students of 1-4 people and manage the classroom. If a student was struggling with any subject it was my responsibility to provide support to the best of my ability.
