Hi Everyone! I'm Emily, a 4th year and the logistics coordinator this year! Outside of classes, I really enjoy my lab work studying honey bees (I'm a true bug kid at heart), exploring and eating my way through San Diego, and love to try out making new recipes and sewing/embroidery! I hope to continue onto graduate school or working in industry pursuing research.

Heya, nice to meet you. I’m in my fifth year at UCSD studying to become a physician, likely in a field like oncology or pediatrics. I’ve had a lot of experience in student orgs, teaching assistant positions, clinical hours, and mentoring other students. I also play videogames, play fantasy sports, and read in my free time. Hope to see you in the Mentorship Program! If you have any food recommendations send them my way!

Hi! My name is Natalie Pok, one of the volunteer committee co-chairs! I’ve held internships working with CRISPR/Cas9, maintaining different cell lines, etc and because of that, my goal is to work in a laboratory that specializes in stem cell research. After undergrad, I plan to go to graduate school to obtain a PhD in biology and work towards becoming a stem cell biologist. Unrelated to science, I love hip-hop dancing, listening to music, weightlifting, and exploring new places. I’m super excited to be working with all of you this year!

Hey everyone! My name is Jacob and I'm going to be an incoming 3rd year who is on the Pre-PA track. I enjoy lots of different things like swimming and procrastinating on watching shows on Netflix. If you have any questions about anything, feel free to reach out! Can't wait to meet all of you!

Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns.
