Community Education Initiative (CEI) Leadership and Learning Academy (2025)
Delivered a curated keynote on the UROC Innovation Scholars program and my research journey. Participated in educator-focused sessions aimed at integrating emerging Apple technologies and AI tools into academic curricula. During this experience I learned how to make a podcast, what AI machine learning is and how to use it, as well as how to use Garageband.

HSI Research Collaboration Conference (2025)
From the conference, I learned how HSI partnerships collectively serve students, faculty, communities, and the workforce through research. I gained insight into funding opportunities from federal and private agencies and learned a great deal from conversations about different partnership projects. Also contributed to a colleagues presentation about how UROC serves the CSUMB community.
