Previous Positions (post-INBRE):

How did working with NH-INBRE help you?

I came into the NH-INBRE program as an undergraduate with no research experience and a broad interest in biomedical research. NH-INBRE provided me with the resources to build a network, opportunities to explore many fields within biomedical research and the time to find a field where I could pursue my curiosities. I left NH-INBRE with a robust technical skill set, a strong network of peers, mentors and friends and invaluable experiences that I can call on to inform decisions about my career moving forward. Through my relationship with NH-INBRE alum Casey Kimball, I was able to prepare for and get an interview with Intellia Therapeutics, which led to a job right out of college. Working in the private sector was a great experience and helped me refine my career goals. This work also improved my resume and strengthened my graduate school applications, thereby further enhancing my career goals. Having had such an impactful experience as a student in the NH-INBRE programs I am excited to take on a leadership role and looking forward to continuing to work with the NH-INBRE group.
