Freshman Year:

Revelle Programming Board:
Didn't do too much here but I did help come up ideas for events hosted at Revelle College. and also helped execute some events.
Scripps Research Summer Intern:
the project that I worked on focused on observing how DNA repairs itself and how the proteins help with that process.

Sophomore Year:
UCSD Men's Varsity Rowing Team:

Walked on to the team and ended up earning a spot in one of the varsity boats as a novice. The sport is beautiful but miserable at the same time, however, it was phenomenal experience and I learned valuable lessons about work ethic, competing, and time management.
Scripps Green Hospital Volunteer:
Began to volunteer in Patient Escort and moved to different departments like the ICU.
