Bethesda, Md

As a Post-bac fellow through the Intramural Research Training Award program, I joined the Laboratory of Neuropsychology at the NIMH in studying existing technologies to map and modulate active neurons in non-human primates. I analyzed 3-D reconstructions of reporter gene expression from virus injections into the amygdala and orbital prefrontal cortex (OFC) of the rhesus macaque. We used technologies such as confocal microscopy, histochemistry and neuronal tracing in Neurolucida software to manipulate active neurons in non-human primates. The aim of this lab’s research is to better understand neural circuit connections and the mechanisms that underlie motivational behavior.

The Harvard Catalyst Summer Clinical & Translational Research Program (SCTRP) enables undergraduates to engage in a ten-week clinical and/or translational research mentored experience. My research examined the associations between neighborhood, school and state residential variability on risk for major depressive disorder using data from a large, population-based sample of adolescents. The goal was to advance our understanding of the roots and prevention of depression, and to clarify the barriers that exist to service access within a population suffering from disparities in care.

Cornell University

As a student assistant in the Cornell Farmworker Program (CFP) office, my tasks included filing, updating and creating databases, and transcribing and translating interviews with migrant Latino farmworkers.Overall, the Cornell Farmworker Program strives to recognize the acceptance and full participation of farmworkers in their local communities. This mission is addressed through several activities, including Emergency Planning workshops to educate workers about their rights, on-farm ESL instruction, interviews conducted in Spanish to ascertain the needs of the community, and Focus Group meetings among farmers (the employers) and farmworkers to improve workplace relations. In addition to the administrative work I completed in the office, I occasionally assisted the Director of CFP with the aforementioned activities out on the farm.

Punta Arenas, Chile

I completed a public health fellowship in Punta Arenas, Chile for eight weeks. I shadowed specialists in a rehabilitation center for mentally disabled children and adults, conducted data analyses for a previously conducted population-based sleep study among Peruvian college students, and participated in a cultural exchange through homestay and other social experiences.The research in Peru evaluated the relationship between common mood disorders and sleep maladies among Peruvian college students.

Ithaca, Ny

I taught kindergarten, first and second grade students the basics of the Spanish language and Hispanic culture for the school's pilot Spanish program. I led 30-minute lessons for six different classes every week. During each class, we studied a different country in the Spanish-speaking world, explored the cultural practices of these nations, and learned several new words in Spanish.
