Teaching and Mentorship

Creating a better future is not an individual task; it requires many talented and excited individuals with different perspectives to work together. However, these individuals do not appear from thin air. Scientists and engineers that transform the world as we know it all have a beginning—a time where someone helped show them the way or opened doors they did not know existed. I have many to thank for helping me get to where I am. While it is unlikely I can ever pay them back, I can certainly pay it forward.
