Thank you so much for your interest in my work! I’m truly flattered and appreciate your time. But I’m certainly not the only person wanting to show off their STEM and Art abilities. Please check out this post to learn more about powerful female, BIPOC/POC, and/or LGBTQIA+ aspiring writers and scientists that are doing incredible things. Below is my academic story- but there are so many others to be shared. I’ll always leap at any opportunity to promote the work of other diverse voices in STEM and The Arts.

I also have a number of friends and colleges doing work in similar areas to my interests and endeavors! Please check out my Research Spotlight page to learn more about their recent work, publications, and adventures in academia!
