The Training Team is a multifaceted component of the FISH infrastructure. Responsibilities of the team include: training new members, continuing medical education, expansion of services offered, creation of new materials and supplies, and various other projects. As the major education component of FISH, the Training Team is responsible for not only running the initial training session, but also expanding on foundational knowledge through presentation on additional relevant topics. A current project that the Training team is working on is creating a Disaster Preparedness and Incident Command System for FISH in preparation for any unexpected event domestically or abroad.

Julianne is a 4th year neuroscience major and Spanish minor.  She joined FISH her sophomore year and was elated to be part of a club that combined her interest in medicine with Mexican culture.  Since she grew up in Northern California nowhere near the Mexican border, she finds it incredible that day trips to another country are possible.   This is her first year on the leadership team and is excited for FISH to streamline and expand their services.  She thinks FISH’s best asset is that it is completely student run and every member plays an integral part in the running of the organization.

Outside of FISH, Julianne works at UCLA’s Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior and analyzes fMRI’s of meth addicts during risk taking.  She also is involved in E3: Ecology, Economy and Equitity and enjoys promoting greener living.  She loves outdoor activities and on weekends you can often find her exploring local hikes in the LA area with her friends.
