Hi, I’m Jerick Yacat, a University of Connecticut student pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Physiology and Neurobiology with a strong passion for science communication and media production. I enjoy blending analytical thinking with creative storytelling, and I’m eager to apply my lab experience and media skills to interdisciplinary projects. Beyond the classroom, I’ve developed hands-on experience supporting student life and community outreach through roles like Buckley Hall game room assistance, Vacation Bible School camp counseling, and Teddy Bear Clinic volunteering. These experiences have sharpened my teamwork, communication, and creative presentation abilities, which I’m excited to bring to future opportunities in multimedia, education, or healthcare communication.
