What are your long-term career objectives? 

“I am driven to pursue a cancer research career dedicated to improving patient outcomes, especially for underrepresented and underserved communities. I aspire to build career expertise in clinical and translational research to bridge the gap between laboratory discoveries and patient care. I would also like to advocate and advise in developing techniques that encourage prevention, promote longevity and management of health, and alleviate the burden of cancer-associated symptoms for patients and their families.”
