- ASG outreach chair Leadership
As a student at Irvine Valley College, I held a leadership position in Associated Student Government. My position was Outreach Coordinator, but I extended my role by keeping our committee active and organizing more group activities. I planned a Christmas donation drive for children, cultural ceremonies, and other events for students. I also planned retreats and leadership camps for student campus leaders. I also went to freshman classes and spoke to them about the opportunities they have in campus, and gave an insight into how they can succeed.

This experience has taught me a lot of new skills such as being more settled and organized in the things that I do and faithful and devoted to my goals.
Type: Teaching/Tutoring/Teaching Assistant
I served as a Teaching Assistant (TA) for Mathematics and General Chemistry. As a TA, I attended class with the students, graded assignments, and held office hours and study sessions. Through my position as a TA, I learned patience and worked with each student at his or her own pace. I came up with new ways to explain concepts that were suited to each student’s learning style. Their responsiveness and the look on their faces when they first understood a concept was the most rewarding aspect of the job. I will strive to facilitate patient education as a physician, making sure that a patient leaves the clinic well informed with all of their questions answered regarding their healthcare needs.
