I am thrilled to support postdocs through engagement and community development. I hope to help make UCSD a more connected and inclusive environment for postdocs by creating opportunities to come together—whether through social gatherings, wellness activities, or culturally enriching events.

Department: PharmacologyMy research in 12 words or less: Developing "Molecular Spies" to illuminate cell signaling in health and disease.Favorite thing about the PDA: Our PDA fosters a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, which I believe to be especially valuable to new postdocs who just start building a network in San Diego, as well as to established postdocs going through a challenging time. The PDA's diverse events and inclusive community can provide mental and career support to those fellows in need.Favorite quote: "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us" - Gandalf, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, J.
