About
I’m Haley, a junior double majoring in MCDB (Molecular, Cellular, & Developmental Biology) and Asian Studies with a focus on Chinese language and culture. Fun fact: I’ve actually been learning Mandarin since kindergarten. Looking ahead, I plan to pursue a PhD in the biomedical/life sciences, with the ultimate goal of working in academia to run my own lab and teach!
Outside of school, I love spending time outdoors, especially going for walks and hitting new trails. Another fun fact: I did research abroad in Dublin, Ireland this past summer, and I spent most of my free time hiking the Irish countryside.
What I enjoyed most about UROP was the focus on professional development. Learning how to build my first resume, draft cover emails, and practice interviewing helped me grow just as much as the lab skills did. Entering research can feel like a big leap, so I’m really excited to support new students as they find their footing, build confidence, and discover their own passions in research!
