What professional goals are you pursuing this year?
This year I’m focused on understanding how malaria parasites survive drug treatment and still manage to be transmitted by mosquitoes.
What are you excited for in 2026? (It can be personal or professional, up to you!)
I had an amazing time attending a wedding in Maui this March! Professionally, I’m always excited to go to conferences and meet my fellow scientists that have become friends over the time of my career.
