Faculty Mentor: 
Jonathan Pritchard
Genetics

I am motivated to support underrepresented minorities (URMs) in science and higher education, particularly those who have intersectional identities. As part of my work with the LGBTQ+ Postdocs and oSTEM, I am most proud of increasing access to necessary resources and creating lasting, caring communities. As a co-creator of the Genetics Advocacy Committee, my efforts to build a more equitable department resulted in changes at the student and organizational level, which has inspired me to continue this work as a faculty member.
