STARTneuro is a 10-week neuroscience summer program designed for UCSD transfer students. It is a full-time course, packed with hands-on activities, lectures, and workshops. During the program's four modules transfer students are introduced to electrophysiology, circuits and behavior, molecular neuroscience, and bioinformatics. Through NIH funding, STARTneuro funds participants in a neuroscience lab of their choice for two years.

The Study Skills Center at Imperial Valley College offers free peer-tutoring services to students. As an embedded peer tutor, I was assigned classes in which I would keep up with the course material and create review sessions for students. I was also a "walk-in" tutor. When I was working walk-ins, students would come and ask for help in any of the STEM subjects I am proficient in.

As an AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) and ASES (After School Education and Safety Program) tutor, my responsibilities consisted of grading assignments, mentoring, tutoring, and using AVID preparation strategies to develop the academic performance of 7th and 8th graders.
