I am a recent graduate currently working as a research scientist and lab manager in genome sciences, with a passion for bridging the gap between research and patient care. I aspire to pursue a master’s degree in genetic counseling to apply my scientific training in a more personal way. My experiences in research have strengthened my attention to detail, critical thinking, and commitment to accuracy, while also deepening my desire to work directly with people—translating complex genetic information into practical, compassionate guidance within collaborative healthcare settings.
