Teaching assistant for the Stanford University School of Medicine seminar MED 296: “Being Mortal”, taught by Dr. Peter Pompei and Dr. Mary Dunne from the Department of Primary Care and Population Health.

Teaching Fellow for the course HEB1328: "Species-Spanning Medicine: The Nature of Physical and Mental Illnesses in Humans and Other Animals", taught by Dr. Barbara Natterson-Horowitz in Harvard's Department of Human Evolutionary Biology.

As the medical research consultant to Emmy-nominated television executive Neal Baer ("E.R.", "Law and Order: SVU"), I oversaw the scientific and medical accuracy of mainstream television series. Two medical dramas whose creation I have been heavily involved in (undisclosed for now) have been green-lit for pre-production.I also consulted for Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and biographer Doris Kearns Goodwin on an upcoming medical documentary in collaboration with NTT Disruption Inc.

As President and executive board member of STAHR, I ran semesterly "dark sky" observation trips to Halibut Pointe State Park, taught students how to safely operate the Loomis-Michael Observatory weekly for three years, and introduced astrophotography sessions with the assistance of graduate students in the Harvard Department of Physics. STAHR is one of Harvard's largest organizations, consisting of nearly two thousand active members across the College and each of the twelve graduate schools.
