At the Hollins Science Seminar, I presented my research on my own skincare product that inhibits the growth of acne. (Then-Estée Lauder EVP) Alexandra Trower '86 was in the audience and asked if I had thought of doing something in beauty. I went to New York, met with her, and applied for a job as an associate scientist!

I chose Hollins because I wanted a career in genetics research. I visited and loved everything about the STEM offerings. Between that, Hollins’ small class sizes, and attentive faculty, there was nowhere else I wanted to go. My first job out of college was helping to sequence the genome of a fungus that destroyed rice crops.
