I am where I am today because of my undergraduate research advisor Dr. Akaysha Tang. She was a young female professor in a older male dominated department, who gave us undergrads opportunities often reserved for graduate students. She mentored me on my own independent research projects, sent me to numerous conferences, and taught me how to write papers and give talks. In fact, the only reason that I got into my dream grad school was because of the research experience that Akaysha fostered (my GREs were mediocre and I came from a mid-tier state school). I very likely would not have gone into science at all as a career had it not been for her patient and dedicated mentoring.
