Incredibly honoured to have been named a member of the #CASFutureLeaders class of 2026! I think 6 year-old me, with dreams of being a leader in science (while still moving around using a wheelchair those days), would be proud of me for being able to lead by example now! Excited to meet in August!

It's that time of year!!! I love this program/love helping ppl apply; feel free to reach out with questions! I've enjoyed reflecting on when I was in the 2022 class--I was just about to start my postdoc and unsure how things would unfold. Now? I'm actively applying for faculty jobs! So surreal 😊
