I am the Research Coordinator of the Infectious Disease Prevention and Public Response translational team at the College of Health Solutions, ASU.I am working with Emergency Medicine Physicians Dr. David Sklar, MD, and Dr. Frank Lovecchio, DO, MPH, as well as Associate Dean of Research Dr. Matthew Scotch, PhD, to coordinate and lead various research projects. These projects include heat stroke prevention and treatment during responses by first responders and in the Emergency Room, as well as the spread of infectious diseases such as COVID-19 and bird flu. This role is improving my ability to lead research teams and projects. Currently, I am leading a project looking at the impact sidewalk temperatures have on heat stroke. Additionally, I am working on a project that looks at using shaved ice versus regular ice for cooling in the emergency room.

I founded a free online medical records platform, Medharbor.org, to empower patients to track their medications, symptoms, appointment records, diet, and fitness information. I work with physicians to provide evidence-based newsletters on the platform. I used the coding languages javascript, html, css, and SQL to build the website.The website is open to anyone who wants to make an account. A free account can be made at medharbor.org

I serve as a Dari/Farsi interpreter and patient educator/navigator. I interpret for medical students, medical assistants, and providers when seeing patients. I have learned medical terminology in three languages, practiced presenting to a physician, and how a dynamic healthcare team operates. I help with patient-in takes, check-ins/check-outs, coordinating transportation, and medical visits. I lead different patient education programs, such as lead education for newly arrived refugees, how to use a pharmacy for non-English speakers, and cancer screenings and preventative care for our patients. Our team has created personalized videos, pamphlets, and guides that further empower patients' control over their health.I have gained a deeper understanding of the unique challenges and social determinants of health that many populations face. Volunteering at Wesley has equipped me with skills to serve patients from all backgrounds, something I plan to continue doing throughout medical school and beyond.

Led our team to build, test, and deploy 13 fully autonomous, off the grid air purification system for Gers in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The system is run through a solar panel that powers the inverter/battery/air filter which is regulated by the PCB Arduino that we built. Endorsed and working with the Mongolian Consulate and Ministry of Foreign Affairs to establish a local supply chain for the systemWinner of grants totaling $30,000. Founder of the Nonprofit Corporation. Featured in publications on IEEE Spectrum, EPICS in IEEE, ASU News.

I graded and mentored over 1,500 students and 100 projects annually by leading engineering seminars and prototyping sessions and guiding teams in deploying their solutions to the community. Through one-on-one sessions, I helped students develop ideas and designs to solve complex community problemsSupervise and support 80 engineering teams to prototype, test, and deploy solutions to community problems

I am the team leader on a project studying how language used in cancer communication impacts preventative care. We conducted 3 surveys for 600 people that measured their opinions on cancer communication and used ANOVA/linear regressions to analyze the results.I co-founded and lead a project that developed an artificial intelligence chatbot to provide evidence-based skin cancer information. We used Python to create a working prototype with all information retrieved from peer-reviewed, published papers, which can be found at Proggyai.com.Our AI chatbot team is currently collaborating with the Daneshjou Lab at Stanford University for clinical verification and the Skin Cancer Institute at the University of Arizona to prepare for public use.I am also a member of the Adaptive Therapy wet lab project, an evolutionary approach to cancer treatment that uses a mice model to treat colon cancer. Conducting experiments to track sensitive and resistant cancer cells in vivo/in vitro, developing immune-competent model, testing extinction therapy in mice, and using multiple Adaptive Therapy drugs Presented Poster presentations at the Mathematical Oncology Conference hosted by Mayo Clinic, the Science/AAAS 2024 meeting, BioSci Southwest Symposium, Biodesign Fusion

Mentoring 25 freshmen students through promoting community through 1:1 interactions with residents; creating and offering academic, professional development, social, and skill-building events. Being a personable resource for first year students.

Researching many different interactions of the bacterial composition of the human microbiome and Kombucha to understand the multi-species microbiome. Conducting experiments relating to the microbiological components of Kombucha interactions with living bacteria Presented 20-minute talk at the international Human Behavior and Evolution Conference.

Camp Kesem is a national nonprofit that supports children through and beyond a parent's cancer. As a camp counselor, unit leader, and Treasurer, I helped provide free year-round services and a 5 day summer camp for 4 years. Over 2 years on the executive board, I organized fundraising events and outreach efforts that raised $100,000 annually to fund these services.I planned the largest fundraising event for over 200 people that rasied roughly $20,000. As a unit leader, I trained and supervised counselors, managed camp situations, and facilitated my unit’s discussions, activities, and bonding.
