Through Stanford JEDI work, I have served in different roles including Stanford University Postdoctoral Association’s first advocacy coordinator, Stanford’s Long Range Planning-Education Area Steering Group postdoc representative, and a co-founder of Stanford Development Biology Postdoc Preview Program. In these roles, I have worked with many other JEDI champions to raise awareness and to address a lack of affordability and diversity for postdocs at Stanford through new programs and initiatives. This work has been incredibly rewarding in that it empowers us, myself and others, to connect, to grow and to learn as we work together to build a more just, equitable, diverse, and inclusive environment at Stanford.
