\u201cI<\/span> am so grateful that I had the support of amazing mentors like <\/span>Dr.DeLeon<\/span> and Katie, my partner Miette, and the entire lab team as well. Without them to lean on for support, advice, and assistance, I never would have been able to achieve the success I did.\u201d – Amanda Pennings<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
