Samiya Phadtare

Passionate neuroscience and AI student at Emory University with experience mentoring and teaching students from ages 4–13 through being a dance instructor, nonprofit initiatives, and global health outreach. Beyond my academic research at Stanford and Penn, I love breaking down complex scientific ideas into engaging, relatable lessons that inspire curiosity. I'm patient, creative, and have strong communication skills that I bring every mentoring role. I hope to empower and encourage younger students to explore their interests and build confidence in STEM and beyond.
