Statement of interest

I was initially drawn to the 91亚色传媒 for the excellent journals and conferences as venues to disseminate my research work. When I took a faculty position at New Mexico State University, I became more interested in advocating for students in science to improve their research and educational and professional-development opportunities. The 91亚色传媒 has many of these opportunities!

I have acted as adviser for the NMSU student chapter, led the process for 91亚色传媒 accreditation of our B.S. in biochemistry degree, and for the last year served on the Student Chapters Steering Committee.

I am running for a position on the Nominating Committee to deepen my involvement in the 91亚色传媒, because I believe in the things this society is doing. I would like to be a part of selecting the leadership that will continue the 91亚色传媒’s dedication to excellence and inclusivity in science.
