I became a member of Toastmasters in 2019 to refine my public speaking skills, embrace new challenges, and foster personal growth. Currently serving as the Sergeant at Arms of my club, I have previously held leadership roles such as Treasurer and Secretary.
I earned a doctoral degree in Integrative Biology and now work in higher education as an Assistant Professor, teaching a range of biology courses, advising undergraduate students, and conducting scientific research.
