    When I was in high school, I fell in love with physics. It was the first thing that challenged me academically. I love studying things that you can’t see, and physics is really mysterious. The more answers you find, the more questions there are. Now I love working with magnets and lasers to study materials under extreme conditions.

    Without the research experiences I had in the lab, winning the Goldwater Scholarship would not have been possible. I received mentorship and advice that gave me confidence moving forward.

    I have felt highly supported by the biology faculty the entire time I have been a postdoc. They have provided me help with specific research questions as well as providing opportunities for me to teach within the department. I was treated as a colleague, which really helped me feel I can transition easily myself into a faculty position. I believe that I would not have been as successful at other institutions, and I am not sure I would have been able to achieve the K99/R00 grant without the large departmental support I received.
