Some details of my internship:


How I got here

I heard about the Mentorship program through Krista, a good friend of mine who participated in this program last year. I wasn't sure what I would be doing for the summer, so I decided to apply. I never would have thought of coming to Boston to do it, but thats where they decided to place me and thats how I am here. At that time I didn't know anyone in this area and had no idea where I was going to live. But through some friends of mine, I found a place to stay and gotten to know people in the process.

General information

I was matched up with Professor Betke at Boston University. The main goal of the Mentorship program is to encourage women to go to graduate school by giving them a little idea of what graduate level research is like. My main job is to assist Harry in his research. For more information check below.
