• Study Group Facilitator

  • May 2023 - Present

  Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States I help facilitate study groups for intro STEM courses. I help encourage discussion to nurture critical thinking and allow members to learn from each other. I also provide study materials (e.g. worksheets) for students to work on together to act as an anchor point for discussion

• Undergraduate Researcher

  • Dec 2022 - Present

  Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States On December 2022, I presented my proposal for an independent research project in the Iwase lab in hopes to write an honors thesis for my neuroscience major and began my project in January 2023. The Iwase Lab focuses on how histone-modifying enzymes regulate brain development and how their dysfunction results in neurodevelopmental disorders, focusing specifically on KDM5C, a histone 3 lysine 4 demethylase whose dysfunction results in X-linked mental retardation disorders. Given that… Show more On December 2022, I presented my proposal for an independent research project in the Iwase lab in hopes to write an honors thesis for my neuroscience major and began my project in January 2023. The Iwase Lab focuses on how histone-modifying enzymes regulate brain development and how their dysfunction results in neurodevelopmental disorders, focusing specifically on KDM5C, a histone 3 lysine 4 demethylase whose dysfunction results in X-linked mental retardation disorders. Given that demethylating trimethylated H3K4 requires alpha-ketoglutarate as a co-substrate, my project explores the potential regulatory dynamics of nuclear metabolic flux on the activity of alpha-KG-dependent epigenetic modifiers, specifically over the course of LTP induction and the role that may play in long-term memory formation. At this stage, my work over the last few months has been dedicated primarily to the development of an in vitro model in primary mice neuronal cultures that can report changes in nuclear alpha-KG concentrations by fluorescent, ectopically expressed reporters. I have also done minor experiments with immunofluorescence to track the nuclear localization of metabolic enzymes in neurons that can locally supply alpha-KG as a reaction product to epigenetic modifiers upon neuron stimulation. Over the course of conducting this project, I have gained both practical lab skills as well as intangible, soft skills that have come with conducting the direction and execution of my project Show less

  Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States Within my housing community, I was elected as a representative for my house, Escher Student Co-operative House, in the ICC board. As a voting member of the board, I play a part in the financial and procedural decision-making the ICC does as an organization. I regularly keep my housemates up-to-date on ICC proceedings and communicate house interests to the ICC board.
