As a graduate student, I had the opportunity to mentor many young women through the Science Club for Girls (SCFG) organization (http://www.scienceclubforgirls.org/). I am inspired by introducing engineering and scientific concepts to young girls in an understandable and enjoyable way.

I have also been involved with the National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program, where I have mentored three students during the summer since 2007. I have also supervised three undergraduate theses while at Harvard. I hope to continue to help give new scientists the necessary tools for conducting high-impact research.
