An inclusive environment encourages creative thinking.
Along with research, I am very excited about mentoring and outreach. I aim to help the next generation to build their resilience, especially those from underrepresented communities.

Congrats to my undergrad mentee Nickeisha Cuthbert for getting the American Heart Association award for Supporting Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) for underrepresented groups in science! She also did a great oral presentation for her summer internship. It’s an honor to mentor Nickeisha for a virtual project she did from Claflin University through the Stanford Cardiovascular Institute (CVI) Undergraduate Summer Research Program.
(Update in 2023: Nickeisha was accepted into MIT for her graduate study! Yay!)
