Hi there! I’m Rafael, a 1st generation biochemistry student interested in pharmaceutical science and medicinal chemistry. What motivates me to tutor for MESA is that I understand that math and science bring up many challenges in many, and for me to be able to step in and provide guidance for those that need it most, and connecting with others and building community is truly fulfilling and brings me lots of joy! A fun fact about me is that I tell everyone I’m 6’0” but I’m actually 5’11” :)

We provided Cover Letter, resume, and Interview workshops to help you land your next job opportunity. Now it is time for you to bring us your resume and cover letter for review. If you like to practice your interview skills, come and join us. This will be an open lab where 4 staff remembers will be available to support you in reviewing your resume, cover letter, interview skills or all of the above!
