Dr. Demy Alfonso, has had an incredible year! She received the Warshaw Research Award at Emory University and grant funding as a PI from the Pediatric Epilepsy Research Consortium (PERC). We can't wait to see all the amazing things she has yet to do!

When I started grad school I budgeted every penny to make sure I could afford to live in LA. Meanwhile some of my peers moved in to new apartments bought by their parents.

Who has enough disposable income to buy real state for their children at any time? Not me or my family 🤷🏽‍♂️

Having a partner who truly sees & knows you is a game changer through this hectic journey as a trainee. So grateful to my partner for being my rock, my soundboard, my cheerleader, & my challenger (when needed). Didn’t realize how much I was carrying on my own before I met him.

I just literally want one precedented time. just one moment of precedented-ness

[Demy Alfonso, PhD (she/ella) @DemyAlfonso]

doctoral graduation gift from my mother was a trip to a place we’ve talked about since I was a kid - Dubai. we went to the grand mosque, rode camels in the desert, & tried 24k gold cappuccinos. feeling blessed with this experience of a lifetime.
