We elevate ourselves by uplifting others through acts of service. I am a Medical Lab/Research Scientist with a strong background in clinical, academic, and scientific research. I believe in the importance of sharing both our achievements and challenges to inspire the next generation in STEM careers. It’s not just our successes, but also the resilience we exhibit in the face of adversity that motivates others to pursue their dreams. This is why mentorship is paramount. The key to unlocking the Earth’s most untapped resources lies in our youth.
