Throughout my life, I've realized that answering a question can sometimes take years of learning and understanding. From childhood queries about food and energy to finally comprehending the Krebs Cycle in high school, I've found immense satisfaction in unraveling scientific mysteries. These moments of insight fuel my passion for biotechnology, a field where my curiosity thrives and evolves. I got my Master's in Biological Sciences from Virginia Tech and I have been working for a Gene Editing start up as a researcher for the last three years. Very excited to be passing on some of my insights and experience to fellow curious researchers!
