None of this happened alone. Every step forward was possible because mentors trusted me enough to open their labs and let me learn, work, fail, and improve. Not only my postgraduate teachers, Ph.D. guide, and postdoctoral mentors, but every person who let me into their lab environment and believed I could contribute.
I remain deeply grateful.
Grateful for the past. Building what comes next.
