As I reflected on all the key moments of my Husky experience, I identified some common themes that have shaped who I am today and how I wanted to present this portfolio:

• Creating through a global lens: Social justice movements and the COVID-19 pandemic have posed many challenges in the past four years. Amid unprecedented times, I found innovative ways to connect my education to those global issues.

• Leading with vision: Although I worked with many communities at UW, the Honors community has undoubtedly been my anchor. From creating a mentoring program to teaching Honors students, I flourished as a leader and fostered inclusive spaces for my peers.

• Discovering personal and professional growth: The Neuroscience program challenged me to think like a scientist and appreciate the nervous system through interdisciplinary perspectives. With an eagerness to contribute to my field, I engaged in undergraduate research and sought to make opportunities accessible to marginalized students.

• Sustaining for what’s next: As I near graduation, I am proud of how I reinvented myself and made the most of my education. I now have the confidence and skills to enter the next chapter of my life, where I plan to pursue graduate school and use my passions for research and science communication to advance digital health equity.
