2026 - 2027 Mentors

Minh Tran

Hi my name is Minh and I’m a 4th year pharmaceutical sciences major! I currently work at CVS and am planning on attending pharmacy school. I also work as a barista at newport beach. I’m an OC local so I can hit you up with all the best food spots in town! I also love watching TV shows, true crime documentaries, anime, and k-drama! I’m excited to meet everyone and am glad to be a part of your UCI journey!

Alessia Briones

Hello, I'm Alessia and I am a fourth year PharmSci major! I am from Sacramento, CA and I have lived in 3 continents throughout my entire life. I love spending time with friends and family, traveling, and exploring new cafes and restaurants around the OC area. I was a mentee back in my freshman year which brought me a lot of insight into our small PharmSci community and surrounded myself with people who had similar careers interests like me. I am currently specializing in Medicinal Pharmacology and planning to pursue my PharmD right after I graduate. I look forward to making fun and lasting memories in PSMP during my last year here at UCI.

Mirror Mi

My name is Mirror Mi, and I'm a fourth-year Pharmaceutical Sciences major at UC Irvine. I'm involved in neuroscience and pharmacology research, where I study neural circuits and gain experience with experimental techniques and data analysis. Outside of research, I enjoy listening to music, playing with beads art, crochet, investigating and talking to people from different backgrounds and career paths, and helping others navigate classes, research opportunities, and campus life. I'm excited to meet new PharmSci students and help make their transition to UCI a positive and rewarding experience!

Rahesh Waheed

Hi everyone! My name is Rahesh, and I’m a 4th-year Pharmaceutical Sciences student at UCI. I’m currently involved in research at the Rose and Mueller Lab, where I work with fruit flies on different research projects and help newer students get comfortable in the lab. Outside of school, I enjoy volunteering, playing Pokémon GO, spending time with friends, and trying new food spots. I’m excited to be a PSMP mentor and hope to be someone my mentees can come to for advice about classes, research, getting involved on campus, or even just to hang out and have a good time. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone and having a great year together!
