Make the transition into hospital life smooth and fun for babies, adolescents, and their families. Help them become familiar with the hospital and all the resources that are available for them. Go door to door to each patient offering items that will make their days as enjoyable as possible to help ease the burden of hospitalization. I personally supply Spanish speaking patients and their families with Spanish children’s books because they cannot read English. Interact with patients and their…

I learned how to critically analyze experimental results and improved writing skills. Attending lab meetings improved my communication skills and showed me the importance of teamwork in a scientific community. My research on obesity can be applied to health education to help reduce the obesity epidemic in this nation. I have presented three posters, published two papers, and loved every moment of it.

Education
I approached Professor Neil Garg and proposed that we develop an educational game that will make students more interested in chemistry and provide them a more creative way to learn. We recruited five students to assist with creating and programming the game. We met weekly for three hours and also work independently on different aspects of game development. We have launched the app with much success. Assembling this group has improved my leadership and communication skills. I’ve learned that…

We have launched the app with much success. Assembling this group has improved my leadership and communication skills. I’ve learned that there are many ways to approach one problem and to be open-minded to different ideas and suggestions is key for progress and development.

Education
Went into a low-income Spanish speaking community to spread awareness of the importance to be involved in the election process of the LAUSD Board of Education, which affects the community as a whole. Used my mastery of Spanish and cultural sensitivity to effectively communicate that personal involvement in the election process is key to develop an educational system that they see best fit for their children and that tends to the needs of all children and parents. The parents I met were very…
Went into a low-income Spanish speaking community to spread awareness of the importance to be involved in the election process of the LAUSD Board of Education, which affects the community as a whole. Used my mastery of Spanish and cultural sensitivity to effectively communicate that personal involvement in the election process is key to develop an educational system that they see best fit for their children and that tends to the needs of all children and parents. The parents I met were very receptive but didn’t have any previous exposure to the election process and its significance. However, many pledged that they would vote in the upcoming election and spread awareness of the voting process.

Recycling PET Plastics

Economic Empowerment
I started by doing research on the PET plastics market to find suppliers, customers, industry development, and to report market changes in pricing and supplier and buyer plant closings/openings. Being fluent in Spanish allowed me to expand potential markets by easily working within the Americas (excluding Brazil). I helped to significantly expand our supply base, customer base, industry knowledge, logistics capabilities, and business development projects.

Presented three posters: two undergraduate science posters, one of which was published, and one that won best abstract at the annual CURE meeting. Improved both public speaking skills and self-confidence by speaking to both doctors and judges about the experimental process and results. Prepared extensively for presentations by practicing in front of close friends. Made my friends aware of the importance of research.

Presented three posters: two undergraduate science posters, one of which was published, and one that won best abstract at the annual CURE meeting. Improved both public speaking skills and self-confidence by speaking to both doctors and judges about the experimental process and results. Prepared extensively for presentations by practicing in front of close friends. Made my friends aware of the importance of research. Saw the importance of sharing knowledge and building upon the knowledge of others to advance society. As a physician, I will confidently share my ideas and be open to hearing ideas from other people. I look forward to continuing research and presenting future results.
