Iman K. (IN A NUTSHELL)

Hi, my name is Iman Khater and I am a current junior at Stanford University. I am majoring in Human Biology with a concentration in Child Development and Neuroscience, and a minor in Chemistry. I am from the southside of Chicago and come from a close knit community. I went to a public highschool and graduated top of my class with a 4.8 GPA. I love to play tennis and softball but also talk about the beauty of Chemistry. Fun Fact: My highschool Chemistry teacher mysteriously disappeared and I taught AP Chemistry to my classmates for two months! In my free time I love to watch all types of movies, listen to unsolved crime podcasts, and hangout with friends and family. I also love to learn about other people's hobbies, taste in music, culture, whatever it may be. I believe that is vital in establishing relationships with people who may be different than you but also makes a person overall more knowledgeable. I've been invited to four leadership conferences, and two women empowerment conferences. I take pride in being able to lead and teach others how to have and use their voice. I love to talk about anything and everything whether it be academics, or what you had for breakfast, I am all ears! My goal as a mentor is to be able to guide students to pursue their passions. I want them to be able to have a love for all subjects, not just one. I want to build a personal connection with my mentees, put a smile on their face, and see them go far in life!
