  I had rotating responsibilities in the clinic, such as greeting patients to redirect them to their respective rooms, assigning vaccines to patients at COVID-19 vaccination tents, and was a translator at the COVID-19 vaccination clinic. This experience placed me in a challenging situation in which I had to collaborate with multiple nurses, administration, and other volunteers in order to work on independent projects for the clinic as well as engage with the staff and patient in Spanish.

  As an undergraduate research assistant, I was able to understand fundamentals of stem cell differentiation and directed neurogenesis through 3D cell culturing of induced pluripotent stem cells and neural organoids. I was involved in daily media changes, cryosectioning and immunohistochemical analysis through a confocal microscope. Furthermore, I conducted an independent research project that developed a lab-specific protocol to image these organoids in greater depth using our standard equipment… Show more As an undergraduate research assistant, I was able to understand fundamentals of stem cell differentiation and directed neurogenesis through 3D cell culturing of induced pluripotent stem cells and neural organoids.

  While I was fortunate enough to shadow two pulmonologists at this clinic for a brief amount of time, it was a transformative experience for me. Witnessing the private interaction between the physician and patients was engaging, as both of us had to maintain a positive attitude and remain open-minded about their cultural, financial, and medical background so that the physician can transparently offer the best treatments that they could receive for their chief complaint.
