Bio

I'm very passionate about neuroscience and science outreach! My postdoctoral training at Stanford University focused on neuroimmunology and cancer neuroscience. I hope I can share my expertise with prospective scientists, medical students, and future educators. When I'm not in the lab, I enjoy cycling, running with my dog, and indoor bouldering. I strongly believe everyone should have access to higher education. I am appreciative of all my amazing science mentors. It’s important for me to give back and support the next generation of scientists.

Project ideas

Project ideas are meant to help inspire student thinking about their own project. Students are in the driver seat of their research and are free to use any or none of the ideas shared by their mentors.

TED Talk

One of the most difficult aspects of science communication is summarizing years of work in a few concise and clear sentences. After extensively researching a science topic of interest, you will prepare a TED talk style presentation (2 minutes). Not only will this enable you to become an expert in a research field, but it will allow you to effectively communicate what you learned.

Publish Review Paper

Want to become an expert in a scientific field? Why not research and summarize primary scientific literature to help inform others? A scientific review paper is challenging but very rewarding.

Languages I know

Spanish, intermediate
