Meet the OSRC staff:
Hi all! My name is Yan Shan Yu (full bio) and I am a first year student in the Forensic Psychology Masters progam. I am a senior staffer who joined the OSRC team two years ago as a Research and Administrative Assistant. It is exciting to work with the team to learn more about the different aspects of research and to plan events centered around research for those who are interested. Research is an essential part to my major and hopefully to you all because it allows us to explore and evaluate the information we receive. If any of you are interested in research, please do not hesitate to come by our office. I hope to see you guys during the variety of events we host and also in our office as we are committed to help you all!
Hello everyone! My name is Kimberly Varela (full bio), and I am a newly hired Research and Administrative Assistant with the OSRC. I am currently a senior at JJC who is majoring in Criminal Justice B.S. and minoring in English. I have had to apply research practices to numerous areas of my academic journey, such as when I had to write research papers for my courses. Therefore, I look forward to working with the OSRC very much because it is a program dedicated to guiding students on how to successfully and professionally develop their own research. The OSRC does this by supplying students with mentors, funding, and other necessary resources. I am excited to join a team that helps students develop their research and professional skills!
Hi, my name is Lisa Haye (full bio), and I am an Economics major at John Jay College, and now a Research & Administrative Assistant in the Office for Student Research & Creativity. My major has exposed me to the quantitative details that factor into a strong research project, and I am excited to learn more about research processes and interact with new people and ideas. OSRC not only pairs student researchers with suitable faculty mentors, but also encourages all students to express themselves creatively in the pursuit of answering big questions. I look forward to serving the John Jay community.
