Outreach
Co-Founder: DiversifySTEM at SIU (2019-present): The purpose of Diversify STEM is to support, advocate and celebrate diversity in STEM. We also aim to broadly promote and educate about ally-ship in STEM. Our group aims to provide a safe and professional group that creates an open and welcoming environment for attendees. We firmly believe that diversity, in all its forms, provides novel perspectives, a richer work experience, and directly reduces discrimination. Letters to a Pre-Scientist (2017-2019): I participated in this wonderful program in which professional scientists exchange letters with young, aspiring scientists! (Grades 8-12).
