Exposure to Industry Program (EIP)
The UCSD Postdoctoral Association Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) committee is dedicated to promoting a diverse and inclusive community, where everyone feels welcome. The EDI committee was formed in 2020 to address important challenges that the UCSD community and greater society experience in light of inequity and exclusion. We work to support the postdoctoral community and facilitate programs and events that enhance equity, diversity, and inclusivity. Our mission aligns with the UCSD’s goal of creating a respectful, fair, and cooperative campus climate, highlighted by the UCSD Office of the Vice-Chancellor for EDI. Our committee is open to ideas and suggestions from everyone in our community. Please sign up as a volunteer for the EDI committee or contact the listed EDI Co-Vice Chairs for more information on how to support this mission.

Department: Cell and Developmental Biology
I am very interested in strengthening the relationships between academia and industry and helping to prepare students and postdocs for successful transitions into industry roles. With two years of prior experience in the biotech industry, I hope to share practical insights and bridge knowledge gaps. I am also eager to help organize events and connect with industry leaders to provide students and postdocs with greater exposure and opportunities for professional growth.
