Hi! I'm Leslie.

 

I'm passionate about creating experiences that empower people to engage more with science and scientists.  As a graduate student, I was heavily involved in student-led outreach initiatives to build experiences that allow scientists and the general public to interact and communicate with the goal of making science and scientists more approachable.  I am particularly excited about opportunities that empower students and young people to become more engaged with science and empower them to become future leaders and problem solvers.  To learn more about my outreach work click here.

I graduated from Stanford in 2019 with a Ph.D. in Developmental Biology.  My thesis focused on developing a novel technique for non-invasively imaging internal organs using the fruit fly as a model organism.  To learn more about my research click here.  I now work in biotech with the goal of helping develop technologies to fuel the future of scientific research and discovery.
