The journey is definitely not linear, and I’ve gained powerful tools such as patience, independence and a strong work ethic which will carry with me through all aspects of life. My experience in research has taught me to be set on my goals but flexible in my methods of achieving them, which is a perspective that has positively impacted my life in several ways.”
