I wouldn't have gotten into graduate school without my mentors. Now I'm paying it forward to the next generation of diverse scientists by volunteering with the following organizations:
Mentorship includes
Feedback on application materials to graduate, post-bac, or summer research opportunities
CV / resume editing
Graduate school interview prep
Science literacy and writing is hard. So I mentor undergraduates at UW to help them traverse the jungle of scientific literature.
