Co-Director; September 2024-present
From student to co-director, participating in Engage developed my science communication muscles. As a co-director, I represent Engage at science communication conferences by presenting short talks and/or workshops. I presented "Engage: A Model for Multidisciplinary Science Communication Training" at Sci Talk '25.

Neuroscience Community Outreach Group
Officer; June 2023-present
I co-lead a graduate student-led outreach group that brings neuroscience to the greater Seattle area at conventions, STEM nights, and beyond. My team and I brought back the first annual Brain Awareness Week event since the pandemic for local high school students to learn from UW neuroscientists, with funding from Research!America’s microgrant program.
Evening with Neuroscience; Grey Matters
Graduate Neurotechnology Pre-Panelist; 2023-2024
The undergraduate neuroscience group, Grey Matters, hosts an incredible outreach night to the public every year. As a graduate student at UW, I've presented at this event to open up people's eyes to the range of technology used in neuroscience research by walking through a unique machine used to study neurotrauma in animal models.

Are You Smarter Than a Comedian?
I produce a science comedy game show that brings experts and scientists from various fields to share their expertise with curious Seattlites who then use their new knowledge to compete against local comedians in a hilarious trivia standoff. I initiate collaborations, design promotional content, and manage production logistics for this accessible science comedy show for adults. Check out this article about how we got started!
