For over three years I received advanced learning in American Sign Language, while also keeping the study material provided while learning the language. I currently work as a lab assistant for Anatomy and Physiology while also being a mental health direct caregiver. I have worked for over the past eight years as a mentor for students in elementary and middle school. During my time with the students, I learned different study techniques, communication skills, and built wonderful relationships with the students; as they viewed me as their best friend. For over the past year I have been working in scientific research, publishing abstracts covering the experiments completed. I am certified as a BACCHUS Initiatives Peer Educator along with being a health advisor.
