Functioning as a Teaching Assistant for a History of Science course, I organize and lead lab experiments that bring the evolution of scientific thought to life. The course traces the development of fields like Biology, Anatomy, Physics, and Chemistry, culminating in Cellular Biochemistry. My professor leads the textual exploration, while I oversee the laboratory side, designing and conducting experiments based on the work of scientists from the ancient world to today.

As Vice President of Student Affairs, I work closely with students to ensure their voices are heard and their concerns addressed within the administration. I collaborated with campus leadership to find solutions to various issues while advocating for student needs. In addition to problem-solving, I organize events that foster community and bring fun, engaging experiences to campus life.

As a resident advisor, I've created and facilitated a housing community for undergraduate students, guided by the principles of inclusion, appreciation of diversity, and safety. I have also facilitated multiple dorm events for the freshmen while they adjusted to college life, as well as making connections with each and every single one of my residents. To prepare myself for this responsibility, I completed weeks of training in mental health, suicide prevention, and racial equity, ensuring that I could make a real difference in my residents' lives.

As Head Lifeguard at one of the top facilities in Chicago, I was responsible for ensuring the safety and satisfaction of members and guests. This role required me to provide top-tier customer service, manage a team of lifeguards, and maintain a high standard of safety and professionalism. I coordinated daily operations, responded quickly and effectively to emergencies, and consistently upheld club policies.

As a lifeguard/swim instructor at East Bank Club, I ensure the safety and enjoyment of the members and guests who use the aquatic facilities. I have been working in this role for over a year and a half, and I have developed strong water safety, rescue, and teaching skills. I am also a certified CPR/AED and first aid provider. I am passionate about helping people of all ages and abilities learn how to swim and improve their fitness and confidence in the water.
