My commitment to diversity is informed by my experiences as a woman of color in science and a first-generation immigrant to the United States. In the over 10 years I have spent in the United States, I am extremely fortunate in having been a part of academic and social communities that made me feel largely included. Simultaneously, I also appreciate that much needs to be done to enhance diversity, equity, and inclusion within academia. I am passionate about actively fostering an inclusive training environment and I will earnestly work towards the retention of a more diverse academic community.
