GRAD-MAP
Graduate Resources Advancing Diversity with Maryland Astronomy and Physics (GRAD-MAP) is a program that aims to create strong, sustainable ties between the University of Maryland and minority-serving institutions (MSIs). GRAD-MAP does this by providing opportunities for undergraduate students at HBCUs, MSIs, and community colleges, to engage in Physics and Astronomy workshops and research experiences with faculty and graduate student mentors at UMD. As a project manager and a part of the GRAD-MAP leadership team, I have organized the GRAD-MAP Winter Workshop and the Summer Scholars programs.
Access Network
The Access Network is an organization that brings together student-led programs across nine different institutions throughout the US. The Access Network and its members lead programs that aim to create a more diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible STEM community. As a Co-Organizer (CO), I am part of a team that is responsible for mentorship and facilitating the operations of the organization. In this role, I have co-written grant proposals, mentored students in planning the yearly Access Assembly, and conducted research as a part of our self-evaluation efforts.
PERCoGS (previous)
Physics Education Research Consortium of Graduate Students (PERCoGS) is the representative body for PER graduate students. We support and connect graduate students in PER and coordinate with AAPT and GPER to represent our interests. In the position of publicist, I was responsible for the PERCoGS newsletter and other outreach and communication with the community.
Graduate Student Government (previous)
GSG is the official representative body for graduate students at the University of Maryland, College Park and is charged with securing and protecting the welfare, rights, and interests of all graduate students at this institution. As a previous GSG Representative for the Department of Physics, I served on the Legislative Action Committee. LAC monitors legislation at the local, state, and federal levels to understand how it might affect graduate students and lobbies on behalf of graduate students to ensure that our needs are in the minds of elected officials.
Graduate Committee (previous)
I served on the 2020 Graduate Student Committee in the Physics Department at the University of Maryland. Grad Comm represents graduate student interests to the department faculty and administration. Our mission is to improve the graduate student experience, socially, academically, and professionally.
Students for Clean Energy (previous)
Students for Clean Energy is a student group that is committed to promoting clean energy at the University of Michigan. As Events Director, I organized events that advocated for our cause such as speaker series, educational tours, campus engagement events, and climate rallies.
