Excited to announce I have been selected as a HHMI Gilliam Fellow this year! This fellowship is given to exceptional doctoral students who have the potential to be leaders in their fields and the desire to advance diversity and inclusion in the sciences. In addition to three years of funding, I will be part of a community of diverse scientists who share my passions for research and outreach! Such an honor and grateful for all my mentors, friends and family supporting me along the way.
