For summer 2020, I was named a CSTEM Summer Scholar this scholarship that was sponsored by Hologic funded my research for the summer. I spent the summer working virtually in the Iafe Lab on a review article that focused on the synthesis of spirocycles via domino reactions. For the virtual summer program, I did the following . . .- attended weekly seminars that focused on professional development- located, read, and summarized articles for a review article focusing - prepared a poster that summarized the research I did over the summer and the research skills I developed
