Once in college (2010), I met 4 friends in biology class.
12 years, 3 nurses👩🏾‍⚕️, 2 MD 👩🏾‍⚕️and 1 PhD👩🏾‍🔬 (in training) later, we became family❤️

Moral of the Story: find you some friends who inspire and encourage you. It will change your life.

Today I presented a project that i’ve been working on for over a year at the BMS graduate student retreat: “Mentorship for success”
This program will focus on BMS graduate student retention and success
Mentoship is such an essential part of a graduate student training.
