Under the guidance of David Lamson, I was given the opportunity, as a freshman, to gain early knowledge of the research I would conduct during my senior year and gain early exposure to being in the lab space. Allowing me to establish my knowledge and understanding of the lab, lab equipment, material, and the research prior to my peers.

I am a sophomore cohort member under the advisement of Tayliz Rodriguez. Throughout the duration of the program I learn how to make myself more attractive to business and simultaneously forming lasting connections with other cohort members, professors, and business executives.
