Teaching
From being a teaching fellow for undergraduate electronics for 3 semesters, to giving lessons about biomaterials and the Arkwright Engineering Scholarship exam in secondary school, to teaching English to Chilean children and university students, teaching and mentoring has been a staple of my previous experiences.
Harvard COLLEGE INTERNATIONAL STUDENT BODY CO-PRESIDENT
Having served as the technology chair, I was elected as Co-president in 2018 with my running partner. Together, we are working to improve the social cohesion of the international student body, promote industry and academic opportunities and improve our position to advocate for international student interests.
Harvard Society of Women in Engineering
Serving as internal outreach chair and later as conference chair, I have been involved in Harvard’s Society of Women in Engineering chapter since 2017. The experience has been very important in both improving my communication skills and more importantly, connecting with an under-represented population in engineering.

I am part of the travelling Harvard Intercollegiate MUN team and an Assistant Director for both Harvard's MUN conferences, focusing on international trade and science policy.
Theatre Lighting
Since 2009 I have been involved in theatrical lighting and design, eventually becoming head lighting designer at my secondary school in 2014 and being awarded drama colours. I am continuing this at Harvard.
