Caldwell Fellows Program
As a Caldwell Fellow, I've had the opportunity to engage in meaningful service-learning experiences that combine academic growth with community impact. Here are a few of my favorite experiences:
Center for Creative Leadership
This past fall break, I had the opportunity to attend the Center for Creative Leadership in Greensboro, NC with my cohort of fellows. I learned a lot about different leadership styles and how to lean into my personal strengths during my time there.
Interfaith Food Shuttle Farm
My time with the Interfaith Food Shuttle Farm taught me so much about the difficulties of growing fresh produce at scale.
It gave me a new appreciation for the work that goes into growing food without pesticides, herbicides, or a large team of people.
Spending hours fanning through cabbage leaves looking for worms, mulching the shallow roots of blueberry trees, and spreading wheel barrows
of leaf mulch on fields (and in my shoes) has changed the way I see a fully stocked grocery store forever.
Interfaith has pantries and farms across central North Carolina,

I'd highly encourage anyone local to spend a day with them.
Pack Bionics
Aug. 2023 - Dec. 2024
From August 2023 - December 2024, I was a member of the software subteam working on simulations and data analysis for prosthetic leg development.
Neurobiology Teaching Assistant
Spring 2024
As a TA for BIO 488/588, I helped grade exams, held study/ exam prep sessions, and built several interactive visualizations to help students understand visual pathways.
Interactive Visualizations
I made these visualizations for my students in neurobiology based on topics I struggled with when I took the class.
Optic Nerve Transections
