2020-2021 | Committee Lead, CEPA Race and Research Group

• I led the committee on the 339 Speaker Series, for which I compiled a list of potential candidates to invite for speaking engagements and workshops on racial/ethnic representation in quantitative research.

2020 | Mentor, IDEAS Fellowship

• I mentored an IDEAS Fellow via the IDEAS program, which was developed in part to diversify the doctoral applicant pool. I provided hands-on research opportunities for a student interested in doctoral study, through which I explained the IRB approval process, demonstrated how to conduct interviews, demonstrated the transcription and coding processes, and facilitated professional networking.

2020 | Mentor, Policy, Organizations, and Leadership Studies Master’s Program

2019-2020 | MA Student Representative, Association of Sociology Graduate Students

• I strengthened student relationships across the sociology and education programs by helping institutionalize the use of the master’s student listserv, after which students in the GSE getting master’s degrees in sociology were invited to department events. I helped make the sociology master’s webpage easier to navigate by simplifying jargon and specifying timelines and audited course descriptions, including providing alternative language so sociology faculty might their courses more inclusive of doctoral students in disciplines outside of sociology.

• I hosted events to strengthen relationships between sociology and education graduate students; events included workshop and feedback sessions, sessions on demystifying the hidden curriculum of academia, and professional networking opportunities.

2018-2019 | Academic Chair, Stanford Graduate School of Education Student Guild

• I conducted a survey assessing students’ needs for different methodological workshops, then planned and coordinated workshops on research methods that students requested, including workshops on GIS and logistic regression.

2018 | Proseminar Survey Administrator, Informal Service

• I crafted a survey asking students questions about how proseminar impacted the closeness of their cohort, whether proseminar gave students a broader toolbox of educational literature, and what feedback students had for the course. Over one-third of GSE doctoral students responded to the survey, and within two weeks, I was able to put together a PowerPoint describing the survey’s results for GSE administrators and faculty.
