-Worked with two Israeli startup companies, Divergent Capital and Spitball, while on a team with other three students and performed tasks such as market research, search engine optimization, and client communication to help both companies have a larger presence in the United States market.

-Observed over 30 complete, full body autopsies over the course of five weeks while conducting forensics field work with professors from the Zhongshan School of Medicine at Sun Yat-Sen University in Guangzhou, China.
