The TUNA Family

"My name is David Tien, and I am a senior majoring in Neuroscience and Anthropology. This is my second year as TUNA President. I grew up in San Jose, CA, and moved to Chauvin, LA, approximately 6 years ago. I am a very outgoing person, and tend to speed talk. So if you don't understand what I said at first, don't be afraid to ask me to repeat. Trust me, you will get used to my speed talk...eventually."

Hi everyone, my name is Sarah Lewis from Long Island, New York, and I am a sophomore at Tulane University. I am the social chair of TUNA for the 2009-2010 school year! I am a neuroscience major and I love learning as much as I can about the brain! In high school, I participated in brain competitions and placed 3rd regionally, 2 years in a row, in the Long Island Brain Bee. One of the reasons I attend Tulane is because of the outstanding programs for neuroscience majors. When I am not planning fun events for TUNA, you can find me dancing on the sidelines of the Tulane football and basketball games, being a part of the Shockwave Dance Team. I am also my pledge class president in the Sigma Delta Tau sorority. I am so excited for the upcoming year for TUNA! It is sure to be filled with great events!

Sommer Ann Kirsch is a 20 year old junior from New Orleans. She is a premed student pursuing a neuroscience major and a dance minor. She also holds another position of Committee Head of Tulane’s Operation Smile group and is an active member in the Premed Society, the Shockwave Dance Team, and Chi Omega Sorority. Her future plans include attending medical school in hopes to one day become a pediatrician.  

Hi everybody, I hope you're enjoying the website. If by now you haven't noticed, I'm the Webmaster of T.U.N.A. I'm decent with computers but I really had to learn this whole website thing over the past month or two; I hope the spoils of my efforts aren't too bad.

I'm currently a sophomore; I just turned 19 over the summer. I'm a double major in Neuroscience and Philosophy. And I intend to go to medical school and subsequently become a Neurosurgeon.

Enjoy the site.

My name is Mona Moghareh and this year will be my second year at Tulane University.I graduated high school from Mount Carmel Academy in New Orleans and have lived here my whole life. I am a Neuroscience major and on the Neuroscience Association Board. I was Outreach Chair for TUNA last year and will take the same position this year. My sister, Maryam introduced me to TUNA and she was Social Chair last year. I am really excited about being on board this year and taking on the challenge of being Outreach Chair again. Last year I was involved with the Brain Awareness Week at the Children's Museum and it was a great success! I really would like to get more people involved with our group this year because it is for a great cause! There is alot to do this year and I can't wait to get started! -Mona Moghareh
