HONORS AND AWARDS

  • Park Scholarship

    2014-2018, Park is a fully-funded undergraduate program focused on scholarship, leadership, service, and character based at NC State University.
  • Yale-Mayo Centers for Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation (CERSI) Scholar

    2018-2019, I'm not sure if this is worth sharing but I received a small trainee grant to support the FDA's goal of protecting the health of the public. I led a qualitative study exploring the views and experiences of oncologists surrounding the new federal Right to Try law and other pre-approval ("compassionate use") regulatory pathways for investigational products.
