  Reed College

  Jun 2021 - May 2023

  I managed club meetings, instructed students in tango technique, and successfully applied and advocated for funding of club members to attend tango festivals in Portland OR. I completed 40 hours of training to become a certified confidential advocate, and I provided survivors of relationship abuse with emotional support and access to local resources. As a leader, I instructed facilitators in sexual health curriculum and facilitation training. Furthermore, I created a safe atmosphere to examine difficult and traumatic topics as well as mediated contrasting opinions during consent talks sessions. I was awarded one of five fellowships, during which I created annotated bibliography of more than 100 psychological articles on spatial reasoning. I also presented research findings regarding metaphoricity at the Fall 2021 Reed College Summer Research Poster Session.
