I am entering my second year of graduate school as a Ph.D. student in the Genetics and Genomics program. Navigating graduate school can often be difficult when also dealing with mental and/or physical illnesses, so if you ever need someone to talk to or commiserate with, feel free to reach out! Dealing with these alone can be incredibly challenging and I hope to be able to provide a sense of community to my fellow graduate students.
