I have always been into science … research and infectious diseases, believe it or not.

With the pandemic, I had the opportunity to get involved, to get incredible experience, and help people in a way that matters.

I couldn’t have gone anywhere else and gotten this.

The funny thing is I’m 20 minutes from home … to some that’s a negative.

The truth is I’m close to home but a world away.
