My story starts off as an undocumented immigrant at CUNY who infiltrated the Ivy league for a decade to pursue a career in the sciences to work towards my American dream. Since then, I became a U.S. citizen, the first person in my family to earn a Ph.D. in the sciences, spearheaded and collaborated on mentorship initiatives to support students of color in graduate school and founded a science organization to improve the pipeline of students of color into higher education in the sciences.
