How did the Hope St. postdoc fellowship help shape your career goals and future plans?

The Hope Street Postdoctoral Fellowship provided invaluable support that allowed me to continue my research career. It also paved the way for me to pursue further research and gave me the opportunity to seek an academic position. 

What did you learn during your time as a Hope St. postdoc, both in terms of research and personal growth?

In terms of research, I was able to publish in high-impact journals with the support of the Hope Street Postdoctoral Fellowship. It provided me with valuable time at Brown, which was instrumental in my academic development. As a fresh Ph.D. graduate, I initially had a narrow perspective on research and lacked academic leadership experience. During my time as a Hope Street postdoc, I was able to expand my research and gain various perspectives on academia. I am truly grateful to the Hope Street Postdoctoral Fellowship for providing me with invaluable and unforgettable experiences and memories at Brown.
