As a first-generation female PhD student, I understand how difficult it is at every step of my journey. I try to make my progress as transparent as possible to individuals like me - making progress is never as easy and glamorous as we typically see on traditional resumes.

I forgot where I originally got this idea, but when building this website, I referred to the wonderful sharing and articles from the New York Times, JOHANNES HAUSHOFER, and Nature.
