EXPERIENCE AND AWARDS
August 2019 - Present
GRINNELL SCIENCE PROJECT SA
Th Grinnell Science Project Student Assistants help keep GSP running smoothly. As an SA, I help plan events, test out ideas, and discuss problems with last year's programming. Most importantly, I serve as a mentor to first-year GSP students who are underrepresented in the sciences and just getting their feet wet with college life. During the academic year, I continue to help set up GSP events and I'm also a familiar face for the first-years.
