What advice would you give to students entering graduate school? Keep putting one foot in front of the other, and remember that big accomplishments take time—Rome wasn't built in a day! Grad school is a marathon, not a sprint. So pace yourself, stay curious, and trust the process.  

What are you inspired by? I’m inspired by people who make science fun, accessible, and exciting—like Bill Nye the Science Guy. Watching him as a kid, I loved how he could break down complex ideas in a way that sparked curiosity and made learning enjoyable. He showed me that science is not just about facts; it's about exploring the world, asking questions, and finding answers that help us understand everything around us.
