Clear Direction Mentoring (CDM) is a national 501c3 non-profit that seeks to increase diversity in STEM by providing long-term mentorship and immersive experiences for high school students from underrepresented backgrounds. I am on the executive board.

The SynBio101 @ Genspace course is a recurring 3-day introductory synthetic biology course for students from all backgrounds. I designed and taught the course at Genspace, a community lab space in Brooklyn until 2023.

The goal of the InspireScience Symposium is to promote a positive environment within academia – an opportunity to celebrate what we love in a challenging career, and to think about the ways that we can make it better.
