I know you work at a lab, what do you do there?
I work at the Levin Lab at Sixth as a volunteer lab assistant. I use a microscope to sort samples from different soil areas and classify invertebrates that I find in the samples!Â
Â
That’s awesome! How did you get involved?
I learned about the lab through the UCSD REAL portal and I’ve always wanted to work with SIO because I’m super into learning about the environment.
Â
Do you want to do something like this after graduation?
I’m not sure exactly what I want to do after graduation but I know that I want to do work with environmental protection and sustainability! I want to make people more aware of the issues our earth faces and the use of alternative energy sources.
Â
Do you have any advice for freshman?
Manage your time well and make sure you study ahead haha but also make sure to meet a lot of people! If I could tell my freshman self something it’s to not stress too much and have fun doing what you’re doing!
