Professional Statement

I am committed to building a supportive scientific community that empowers trainees with the resources they need to excel in their academic and career endeavors. With a Ph.D. in Biomedical Science and a postdoctoral fellowship in Academic Administration from UT MD Anderson Cancer Center, I bring a wealth of expertise in guiding students through STEM careers.

As the Director of the Student Opportunities for Advancement in Research (SOAR) Office at Baylor College of Medicine, I design and oversee innovative research training programs for medical students. My efforts focus on professional development, creating engaging educational experiences, and using data-driven strategies to connect students with mentors and research opportunities that match their interests. My mission is to help students build successful careers, navigate the challenges of academic research, and achieve clarity in their professional goals.

My goal is to empower the next generation of professionals with clear guidance, structured support, and a dynamic research community that drives academic and career success.
