As a first-generation college student and scientist, I have seen firsthand how education and community can transform lives, which has fueled my commitment to community-driven science and leadership. I lead initiatives designed to break down barriers to science and higher education, and I help build community science programs that support and empower folks from historically marginalized backgrounds.
