- Working on projects analyzing the signalling pathway of the MET receptor and the effect of mutations in the intracellular domain on kinase activity, linked to oncogenesis. - Project aim is to explore the effects of point mutations at key residues and segment deletions in the juxtamembrane affect signal transduction in the MET receptor in order to understand the regulatory mechanisms of the intracellular domain of the receptor.- Prepare new variants of MET receptor through bacterial cloning, DNA purification, and transfection. Conduct cell signalling assays on variants and quantify outcomes through Western Blots and FACS.

- One of four undergraduate students appointed to Chancellor's Advisory Committee for Student Mental Health (CACSMH). Represented the ASUC AAVP Office as an advisor to the Chancellor and her Cabinet on trends in student mental health and opportunities for reducing risks and increasing support for members of the UC Berkeley community facing mental health challenges.- One of five undergraduate voting members appointed to the Wellness Fund Advisory Committee (WFAC). The committee, comprised of undergraduate and graduate student representatives, reviewed over 40 grant applications and allocated over $700,000 to campus wellness initiatives in the 2023-24 school year.

- Worked with partnering ASUC offices and local organizations to spread awareness about menstrual and sexual health resources on campus - Worked with Menstrual Equity Commission on setting up steady funding for menstrual products on campus and in student housing

- Strengthened relationships between ASUC and student wellness departments on campus through facilitating communications with CAPS, running town hall for academic culture, and providing input on policy changes and programs regarding student mental health- Organized and ran de-stressing events for students on campus during midterms

- Worked on developing pregraduate resource banks and professional development events for Berkeley undergraduates- Assisted with planning and running events in the Middle Eastern, Muslim, Sikh, and South Asian (MEMSSA) community

- Facilitated communications between student body and the Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) through conducting feedback surveys and attending CAPS Co-design meetings with administration.- Assisted with planning a townhall on academic culture at the university.

- Lead the Foundations of Data Science (Data 8) study group for 30+ students each semester- Conduct database cleaning and data analysis on current students and alumni to share with potential program sponsors

- Offer drop in tutoring services for General Chemistry and Lab (Chem 1A/AL)- Engage in seminars on higher education and implementing progressive curriculum in science

- Participated in an intensive summer research program focused on antibody drug conjugate (ADC) therapy for colorectal cancer in Dr. Kendra Carmon's lab- Utilized Western Blots, Proliferation/Migration/Invasion Assays, and Cytotoxicity screenings to study the role of epiregulin (EREG) gene in controlling signalling in the epidermal growth factor receptor pathway to allow ADCs to more precisely target cancer cells

- Biological & Chemical Sciences and Physical Sciences & Engineering (BCPSE) Domains- Initiative to accelerate the review process for pre-prints relating to COVID-19 and other infectious diseases- Pitch pre-prints relating to BCPSE to be reviewed, identify nearest neighbor papers and potential peers to contact to review

- Position through the Data Science Discovery Center - Project aim is to develop a machine learning model to identify and classify user errors in spirometry tests to reduce the need of professional coaching during the test- Runner Up for Team Collaboration Award, Spring 2023

- Coordinate and facilitate meetings with Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) administrators and representatives from campus student groups pertaining to mental health.

- Group serves as a space for students involved in mental health- related student groups to provide feedback to CAPS administrators on their initiatives while moving towards the stepped care model.

- Helped develop and facilitate educational presentations about nutrition and obesity/diabetes prevention at local community centers.- Collected and analyzed data from program attendees
