PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE & PRESENTATIONS
Co-organizer & Panelist, Brain Day for Elementary School Children.
Center for Mind & Brain and the University of California-Davis, 2004.
Presentation in collaboration with the Neurocognitive Development Laboratory of Dr. Susan Rivera and the Cognitive Control Laboratory of Dr. Silvia Bunge.
Chabot College, President Psi Beta, National Honors Society in Psychology for Community and Junior Colleges. Rob Hughes, advisor. 1999-2000.
As a sophmore I enlisted the assistance of an instructor and established a chapter of Psi Beta at Chabot College (endorsed by the American Psychological Association). As president I organized meetings, promoted the club and acted as a representative at student body meetings.
