What drew you to science?
My draw to science was fueled by a curiosity to understand the unknown and uncover how the world works. During a Zoology class as an undergraduate, my passion for science truly crystallized. I was captivated by the remarkable adaptations of various species and how they evolved to overcome global challenges. Learning about these fascinating evolutionary processes not only inspired me but also solidified my commitment to pursuing a career in science.
