"Teaching at a vocational college in Laos has shown me how access to education can empower students with the skills they need for their future and how language barriers can limit opportunity. Similarly, I鈥檝e been volunteering with the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which has reinforced that healthcare isn鈥檛 just about innovation; it鈥檚 about access. My experiences in the classroom and public health outreach have shown me that academic breakthroughs mean little if they don鈥檛 reach the people who need them. This experience has prepared me for my life-long goal of bridging the gap between scientific innovation and the communities that need it the most."

"In 2022-2023, I was an English Teaching Assistant at a high school in a small village in Eastern Germany. I lived less than thirty minutes from the historical center of the German Enlightenment鈥搘hich I now study as a part of my Ph.D. in Philosophy. Having the opportunity to speak German every day and to live in a part of Germany that is often overlooked was an invaluable experience, and gave me a strong foundation in language and teaching to support my current work in grad school."
