NALA Profile

Personal Interest

My passion and purpose is to make a difference in the lives of others. I get to do that in two ways, through research and outreach. I want undergraduates to know that they are not alone and they have people that can help them navigate pursuing STEM degrees and/or careers. I want to encourage them to explore and take advantage of as many opportunities as they can. Ensuring they are not afraid to leverage their network and existing resources to help them achieve their goals.
