I have a strong passion for scientific exploration, particularly in the fields of physiology, pharmacology, and toxicology!

​

Throughout my undergraduate experience, I truly appreciated the emphasis that many of my courses placed on science communication. It demonstrated the importance of considering one’s target audience when sharing information in order to effectively communicate scientific findings. By determining the most effective ways to disseminate knowledge, we can engage the public, address societal concerns, and promote scientific progress.

​

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, baking, and crocheting! 

My research interests lie in AI implementation in healthcare, digital health technologies, and medical genomics. 

​

Science communication is essential for conveying research findings to a technical and lay audience, reducing stigma associated with diseases, and increasing one’s curiosity about scientific discoveries. After participating in the Science Internship Program and taking courses that emphasized scientific communication, I realized that proper training in science communication is necessary to prepare students for the competitive job market. I joined the lab because I want to contribute to the development of effective science communication strategies, ultimately working towards making scientific knowledge more accessible and relatable to society. 

​

In my free time, I like to take dance classes in hip hop and urban choreography. I also enjoy thrifting for vintage clothing. 

I am deeply enthusiastic about scientific investigation and cherish working cooperatively with others. My scholarly interests extend to the fields of Pharmacology, Physiology, and Kinesiology, to name a few. In addition to these areas of interest, I harbor a profound fascination with Space Exploration and Astronomy. 

 

During my undergraduate studies, I recognized a significant gap in the curriculum regarding formal science communication training. This experience ignited in me a passion for Science Communication, a field I consider to be pivotal in the broader scientific landscape. I firmly believe that the ability to communicate complex scientific concepts effectively to diverse audiences is as important as the underlying research itself. It is this belief that drives my ambition to contribute to this field, with the aim of enhancing science communication training and its incorporation into academic curricula. I am convinced that better science communication fosters increased understanding, greater public engagement, and ultimately, the advancement of science itself. 

 

During my leisure time, I enjoy playing sports, spending quality time with friends and family, and reading books. 

I'm interested in researching science communication because I believe there is a large gap between the scientific community and the general public in terms of understanding and appreciation of scientific knowledge. This gap may make it difficult for non-experts to make informed decisions about important science-related issues. Additionally, important scientific discoveries that are not effectively communicated to the public may not be put into practice or utilized to their full potential. As a result, there is a need for effective scientific communication that can bridge this gap, increasing the general public’s scientific literacy and knowledge of scientific advancements.

​

Beyond science communication, my research interests include Neuroscience, Public Health, and Education

In my spare time, I enjoy reading books, playing chess, and spending time with family and friends.

I am personally drawn to the field of science communication research, motivated by a belief in the significant impact it can have on connecting the scientific community with the wider public. My interest is rooted in the recognition of the tremendous opportunity that science communication presents to bridge the gap between scientists and the general public. My experiences as a tutor have allowed me to actively witness the impact of effective communication in science education. As I engage in presenting and discussing scientific concepts, I am motivated by the transformative potential of bridging this communication gap. I believe that by enhancing science communication training and incorporating it into academic curricula, we can contribute to increased public engagement, understanding, and the overall advancement of science. This belief drives my passion to contribute to the field of science communication research, aiming to address the critical need for improved communication between scientists and the wider community.

 

In my leisure time, I find solace and joy in nurturing vibrant blooms in my garden and capturing their beauty through the lens of my camera.

My scientific interests include physiology, pharmacology, and museology (public history)!

​

At the heart of science is communication and dissemination. As someone who has both been the distributor and receiver of good and bad scientific communication, I believe that research in this field has major implications on how we perceive, understand, and learn about our modern world. I became especially interested in this field through my work as a private tutor, where I actively see and participate in the innovation of science education through teaching, presenting, and talking about science.

​

Outside the lab, I enjoy reading, visiting museums, and watching re-runs of Law and Order!
