Curious Cardinals Mentor

Ashwin R.

PRO TIP:

When evaluating whether a mentor would be a good match for your student keep in mind that the greatest leading indicator of success is how well a mentor and their mentee get along.

Questions to ask yourself:

Would the student find this person inspiring?
Do they share any interests, hobbies, or lived experiences?

Ashwin R. (IN A NUTSHELL)

I am an educator, entrepreneur, and aspiring physician! I graduated from Stanford in June 2020 with a B.S. in Human Biology and a Minor in Modern Languages (Spanish and Hindi). I have taught and provided mentorship all over Stanford as a Human Behavioral Biology Teaching Assistant, student advisor in the Human Biology Department, resident assistant for an all-frosh dormitory, an ESL instructor for Latina custodial workers, and a summer chemistry tutor. Prior to helping found Curious Cardinals, I co-founded Stanford Alzheimer's Alliance, which pairs Stanford undergraduates with residents who are diagnosed with dementia at the Webster House Health Center in Palo Alto, California. Throughout my undergraduate years, I was also heavily involved with other health-related initiatives such as global health research and volunteering with a free clinic! In my free time, I love watching films, going on hikes, and cooking. I can't wait to connect with you and learn about you and your interests!
