How Vanderbilt made an impact: Firstly, the collaborative and supportive environment in my lab as well as other labs in the Vanderbilt Center for Addiction Research has been immensely impactful in my career. Additionally, I have to thank the Vanderbilt Program in Molecular Medicine for all of the training and education I received. I truly enjoyed having the opportunity to expand my education to translational and clinical research.
