How Vanderbilt made an impact: The Office of Career Development has greatly impacted my graduate training by providing multiple career exploration and enhancement opportunities that have shaped my future career goals. I have also participated in multiple Vanderbilt outreach organizations, including VU-WiSE, that have allowed me to interact with the Nashville community and helped enrich my time in graduate school.

Next plans: AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellowship. My long-term plans include communication/ science outreach and science policy jobs.
