Volunteering: 

Letters to Pre-Scientist: As a volunteer with Letters to a Pre-Scientist, I participate in a pen pal program that aims to inspire and mentor students from under-resourced communities with an interest in science. My role involves crafting thoughtful, engaging letters to demystify the life and work of scientists. Through this correspondence, I offer insights into scientific careers, encourage curiosity, and foster a supportive relationship with my pre-scientist pen pal. This role allows me to positively impact a young student's educational journey while enhancing my communication skills and reinforcing my commitment to science outreach.

Intergenerational Connections: As a part of Intergenerational Connections, a non-profit student organization at UC San Diego, I have the opportunity to foster meaningful relationships between student volunteers and elderly residents of nearby senior living facilities. Every week, I volunteer at a senior citizen living facility, engaging in activities such as hosting board games day and organizing events catered to their interests. 

Programming: 

Roblox Developer: I am a self-taught Roblox developer. I learned how to code in LUA, 3D models in TinkerCAD, and implement various models and terrains on Roblox Studio. I partnered with the non-profit organization Technovation to promote and teach STEM to elementary and middle school students. With our efforts, my partner and I developed a game called Planet Roblox, which is devoted to teaching kids about the impacts of climate change using various mini-games. Read more about it here.

Lens Studio Developer: I am a self-taught Snapchat Lens Studio Developer who has utilized my technical acumen to craft and drive the development of innovative filters that enhance the social experiences of Snapchat users. From implementing script-based filters to promote youth voter turnout during the 2020 elections to creating trend-conscious filters that facilitate social connection, I have designed and published filters that have achieved significant levels of engagement (108 million plays, 138 million views, and 8 million shares).
