Bio:
Hiya! Thanks for taking the time to read my bio to the end and deciding whether my story should take up an hour of your day!
As a biological generalist without a specialization in a particular type of microscopy, every day is a new adventure through my work at the Microscopy and Microanalysis Facility (MMF) at the University of New Brunswick. I do histology, cryosectioning, confocal, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy for everything from individual cells to invertebrates to vertebrates. This work ranges from consulting on projects, to training students and scientists alike, to full service from sample preparation to final image.
My journey to where I am now was a bit untraditional. My parents are immigrants. English is my second language. I am the first in my immediate family to go to university. I am neurodivergent. I am also currently pursuing my master’s degree part-time. I hope that you’ll join me as I share my work and my passions with you.
I am thankful for the opportunities given to me through the Canadian Federation of University Women – Fredericton (CFUW), the Microscopy Society of Canada (MSC), the Canadian Network of Scientific Platforms (CNSP), Janelia, and BINA through the professional development fund supported by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI). I am thankful for the opportunity to give back through being a council member at large with the MSC, the Eastern Canadian representative with the CNSP, and the Canadian board intern with BINA.
