  BrainSTEM is a service organization dedicated to teaching STEM subjects through neuroscience. We are a multiple institution program, with members from Rice University, UTHealth, GSBS, MD Anderson and Baylor College of Medicine. Our group teaches throughout the Houston community at a variety of academic levels. Our primary service is teaching a weekly neuroscience class at KIPP Sunnyside High School.

  I organized and kept safe a dorm full of college freshmen, with 24 males under my direct supervision. I built an friendly living environment, and helped the student mature intellectually and emotionally into adults that could take care of themselves and self organize. Part of my job was to design social events, using school funds, to entertain and teach students. I organized and kept safe a dorm full of college freshmen, with 24 males under my direct supervision.
