Meet our newest member: Gabriele Juskeviciute
We are so happy to welcome Gabby to the lab! Gabby joined in July and has been slowly assuming the responsibilities of lab manager and supervisor of our undergraduate student workers. She is off to a great start!
We asked Gabby a few questions to get to know her better…
Where are you from? Where were you before coming to the lab?
I was born in Vilnius, Lithuania and grew up in Greenville, NC and Halifax, Nova Scotia (Canada). Before coming to the lab, I was attending college at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I graduated in May with my bachelors degree in Biology and French.
Why were you interested in this job? What are you most excited about doing? What do you hope to learn?
This job interested me because I hoped to begin working in a biological sciences laboratory after graduation in order to develop my skills as a scientist before applying to graduate school in a few years. I’m excited to learn everything I can!
When not in lab, how do you like to spend your time?
I enjoy reading, playing the piano, listening to Broadway cast recordings, and watching British tv series. Fun fact: I also speak Lithuanian and French.
