Can you share a moment or experience that made you feel particularly proud or inspired during your time here?  

One of my favorite experiences is working with the new group of graduate students. I get the opportunity to be a TA for the students during the modules, and it is great to see them excited about science and all the opportunities ahead of them as they start their time at the Stowers Institute.

What do you believe sets the Stowers Graduate School apart from other graduate programs in terms of resources, mentorship, and opportunities for growth?  

The support you receive from the graduate school staff and community is tremendous. They go above and beyond to make sure that we are taken care of and that we have all the resources we need to succeed.

What advice would you give to prospective students considering the Stowers Graduate School? What makes it a great fit for future researchers?  

I would advise them to reach out to current or former students. I have not met a student from the Stowers Graduate School, past or present, who was not happy to sit down and talk to those who were interested in the program or had questions.

How has the Stowers Graduate School supported your career goals, both in terms of your current research and your professional development?  

Stowers has supported me and my career goals by giving me the space to focus on what is most important in my research – the science itself.
