As a first-generation low-income student, I have a great passion for interacting and helping communities in those spaces. I am an active member of Letters to a Pre-Scientist, Skype a Scientist, the New York Academy of Science’s “1,000 Girls 1,000 Futures” programs. Each of these programs help expose kids to science when they most likely wouldn’t normally get this opportunity. I often think of the people who helped me along the way and remember that the key to a more balanced and equitable science space is making space for others and not closing the figurative door after one has been opened for you.
