“As a physician with siblings who work in healthcare, I greatly valued my early exposure to science growing up. I think it is important that our workforce in medicine represent the populations that we care for, and providing youth with early exposure to science is a wonderful way to generate interest and provide mentorship to that end!”

Fun Fact: I recently welcomed identical twin girls to my family!
