As a scientist, my goal has been making science more accessible to varying audiences. I aim to provide accurate, yet digestable, information to audiences with varying backgrounds.I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Nowosad Lab studying intestinal B cells at homeostasis and in IBD. During my PhD, I examined Germinal Center B cell selection defects in the pathogenesis of lupus to determine what becomes dysregulated in lupus specifically. My expertise in peripheral B cells in disease has provided me with a broad understanding of aberrations in disease.I have mentored 10 junior PhD students and assisted people at varying levels of training (high school students through PIs) on various techniques and equipment specific to our lab. I greatly enjoy mentoring other students as well as educating the general population on my work and its importance.I also was a Science Writing Intern at Soligenix, Inc. during my PhD, which allowed me to write summaries on new disease areas weekly for the CSO and CMO of the company. My goal had been to find out everything that is known on a specific prompt, write a review on it, and submit it to the CSO every week. This helped me learn how to take in massive amounts of information that I had or had not previously been familiar with and turn it around into a digestable article.
