I am passionate about making science education more accessible and understandable for students at all stages of their academic journey. My interest in science communication stems from my experience as a tutor, where I saw how often students struggle to interpret and apply feedback. This inspired me to explore ways to make scientific information clearer, more engaging, and more approachable. I am particularly interested in the role of science communication within higher education, specifically how we can better equip educators and researchers to convey complex ideas effectively. I believe that improving how we communicate science has the potential to bridge the gap between research and understanding, fostering confidence among students. By integrating stronger science communication practices into teaching and research, we can make scientific knowledge more meaningful and impactful.

In my free time, I enjoy running, spending time with my cat, and watching true-crime and thriller movies.

Science communication is essential for conveying research findings to a technical and lay audience, reducing stigma associated with diseases, and increasing one’s curiosity about scientific discoveries. After participating in the Science Internship Program and taking courses that emphasized scientific communication, I realized that proper training in science communication is necessary to prepare students for the competitive job market. I joined the lab because I want to contribute to the development of effective science communication strategies, ultimately working towards making scientific knowledge more accessible and relatable to society.

In my free time, I like to take dance classes in hip hop and urban choreography. I also enjoy thrifting for vintage clothing. 

My academic interests focus on research in pharmacology, epidemiology, and science communication. I believe that effective science communication is essential for bridging the gap between scientists and the general public, fostering a greater appreciation for scientific research and its relevance on everyday life. Clear and thoughtful communication not only helps to demystify complex scientific concepts, but also empowers individuals to make informed decisions and engage with scientific advancements meaningfully.

Organizing research conferences and recruiting senior and student researchers has given me a firsthand perspective on the profound difference effective communication can make. I have observed how researchers who can clearly and engagingly articulate their work are more successful in capturing their audience’s interest and sparking meaningful dialogue. By advancing research in science communication, I hope to contribute to innovative approaches that empower scientists to share their work with clarity, creativity, and impact. My goal is to contribute to the development of communication tools and techniques that make scientific knowledge not only accessible but also enjoyable and relatable for diverse audiences.

In my free time, I enjoy café hopping, journaling, bouldering, and skiing.

I am personally drawn to the field of science communication research, motivated by a belief in the significant impact it can have on connecting the scientific community with the wider public. My interest is rooted in the recognition of the tremendous opportunity that science communication presents to bridge the gap between scientists and the general public. My experiences as a tutor have allowed me to actively witness the impact of effective communication in science education. As I engage in presenting and discussing scientific concepts, I am motivated by the transformative potential of bridging this communication gap. I believe that by enhancing science communication training and incorporating it into academic curricula, we can contribute to increased public engagement, understanding, and the overall advancement of science. This belief drives my passion to contribute to the field of science communication research, aiming to address the critical need for improved communication between scientists and the wider community.

In my leisure time, I find solace and joy in nurturing vibrant blooms in my garden and capturing their beauty through the lens of my camera.

My scientific interests include physiology, pharmacology, and museology (public history)!

​

At the heart of science is communication and dissemination. As someone who has both been the distributor and receiver of good and bad scientific communication, I believe that research in this field has major implications on how we perceive, understand, and learn about our modern world. I became especially interested in this field through my work as a private tutor, where I actively see and participate in the innovation of science education through teaching, presenting, and talking about science.

Outside the lab, I enjoy reading, visiting museums, and watching re-runs of Law and Order!
