Why did you select your profession?

Being an HIV and infectious-diseases clinical researcher allows me to have the personal relationships to work with patients one on one, and also maintain a public health perspective to help develop policies and practices that contribute to the wellness of society as a whole.

What’s the best career advice you’ve received?

Never underestimate your worth, and don’t let others do it either.

What advice would you give your 22-year-old self?

It wouldn’t have mattered – I probably wouldn’t have believed me! Sometimes you just have to live it to know it.

If you could choose another profession, what would it be?

An astronaut. Or a history professor. One of the two. •
