She/Her
Bio

She is a third-year Molecular and Medical Microbiology major on the pre-med pathway with interests in pathology and infectious disease. A fun fact about her is that if you see her staring intensely at the ground, she's not lost; she's probably just looking for an insect to pick up. 

What is your goal for this year's Conference?

My goal is to cultivate an inclusive environment where students from all backgrounds feel genuinely represented and supported. I want to foster a space where every attendee feels empowered to network confidently and maximize the unique opportunities this conference provides.

What advice do you have for attendees?

Don't just sit in the back. Sit in the front row, take notes, and stay for five minutes after a session to introduce yourself to the speaker. You’ll likely get plenty of pamphlets and swag from schools, but the most valuable thing you can take home is a new connection with someone. Try to network with the person sitting next to you—they might be your future lab partner or colleague.
