Excited to share that I’ll be giving an invited talk at the amerchemsociety National Conference next week in Denver, Colorado! 🎉 My talk, “Breaking Barriers and Building Bridges: Navigating Academia as a First-Generation Chemist,” will explore the challenges and triumphs of being a first-generation scientist in my family to pursue a PhD in chemistry. This journey has been filled with obstacles, but also incredible opportunities to grow, connect, and make a difference. I can’t wait to share my story and insights with a community that’s passionate about advancing the field of chemistry and supporting the next generation of scientists. Stay tuned for updates from the conference! #ACSDenver #FirstGenChemist #BreakingBarriers #BuildingBridges #STEMDiversity #Chemistry
