    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.
