WHAT DO YOU DO?
I figure out how to put research evidence into practice in healthcare.
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS FIELD?
I read about so many interesting projects and opportunities in healthcare but realized so many of them stopped after a short time. I wanted to figure out how to help keep these projects going so more people could benefit from them.
WHAT DO YOU LOOK AT & THINK, "I WISH YOUNGER ME WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS WAS POSSIBLE?"
I never imagined that I would do a PhD. I swore I would never do one - until the day I submitted my application.
WHY DO YOU LOVE WORKING IN STEM?
The ideas! I get to work with so many interesting people that see the world in different ways and there is so much I can learn from each of them.
BEST ADVICE FOR NEXT GENERATION?
