On December 11th, 2021 I graduated from the University of Alabama with a Bachelors of Science in Biology and Chemistry. These last 4.5 years have definitely been a roller coaster, but I would not trade anything for my journey. I spent a lot of time crying ,studying, and drinking coffee in this building, and it all paid off. A special thanks to both my research mentors at UA and UAB. And another shout out to my family,friends, Gorgas, and Starbucks. #MSandMD/PhDloading👩🏽‍🔬
