“I would tell myself that the work will always be there, but life experiences won't wait. Although working hard is important, there are experiences to have outside the lab that make you not just a better person, but ultimately a better scientist too.”
“This whole journey was so important to my growth, not only as a student, but also as a person. It taught me humility, resilience, and the importance of asking for and accepting help.”
“While I once thought resilience meant pushing through anything, I now understand it differently. Resilience is not just about endurance; rather, it is about caring for myself well enough to reliably show up for others.”
