I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Cellular, Molecular, and Biomedical Sciences Program working on the mechanisms of parasite motility. I am an Indonesian American born and raised in Jakarta but moved to the U.S. as a teenager. I earned a B.A. in both Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and French at the University of Colorado, Boulder where I acquired a love of hiking and playing music. Special interests include science communication and grant writing.

I am a graduate student in the Plant and Soil Science Department studying cold hardy wine grapes and sustainable agriculture. I found my passion for agricultural sciences during my undergraduate degree at UConn, where I spent my time doing soil laboratory research as well as teaching small gardening classes for my community. My special interests include scientific writing and empirical research, as well as scientific briefs and newsletters. In my off time I enjoy reading, crocheting, and downhill skiing.

I'm an MS student in the Field Naturalist Program (Plant Biology) and study alpine plant communities. Before returning to school I worked as an elementary school science teacher and park naturalist. Special interests include science communication, writing in the humanities, and applications and grants. When I'm not dreaming about my future dog, I like reading, eating creemees and being in a hammock.

I am a Ph.D. candidate in RSENR's Natural Resources program. I grew up in idyllic Starksboro/Bristol Vermont. I am a herpetologist by training; however, I enjoy all aspects of the natural world. My research interests primarily lie in the dynamics of ecosystems, especially in regard to wetland and aquatic habitats; using statistical modeling to determine important variables within the landscape that are necessary for the persistence of wildlife species; studying the impact of roads on reptiles and amphibians; human-wildlife conflict; and exploring how animals move throughout the landscape. Outside of research, I like to think of myself as an artist, poet, and nature enthusiast. I really enjoy drawing, writing, reading, composing music, hiking, and making pretty much anything out of wood.

Hello! I am a second-year graduate student in the Social Work department, and received my bachelor's in Creative Writing in 2021 from Colby-Sawyer College. I have experience with workshopping academic papers on literature, sociology, social work, psychology, and biology, as well as editing fiction and poetry, but am always interested in reviewing work in subjects that may be new to me. My special interests include death & disposition, LGBTQ+ history & activism, and the intersection of sociology & epidemiology. When I'm off the clock, I love reading, working out, playing video games, and sewing (badly).

I am a graduate student at the Chemistry department specialized in bio analytical chemistry. I grew up in Iraq, Baghdad and immigrated to Vermont to finish my undergraduate degree. I obtained my undergraduate degree from Saint Michael's collage, where I developed a passion for analytical chemistry and scientific writing. My special interests include: scientific writing, science communication, research papers, grant editing, and scientific newsletters. When I'm not working in the lab, I enjoy baking, playing video games, and explore the outdoors.

I am a third year Ph.D. student in the Interprofessional Health Sciences program and am interested in studying language acquisition. I have received a M.S. in neuroscience and for my undergraduate schooling studied psychology and French. During my studies, I have spent a semester abroad in London, England and participated in an internship at a university in Paris, France. My current hobbies include playing guitar, dancing and snowboarding.

Since earning a master's degree in Complex Systems and Data Science in spring of 2021, I'm back for a PhD in the same subject. I have a background in clinical trials research, and currently study functional neuroimaging as it relates to adolescent cognitive development and risk-taking behaviors. I'm most interested in using data to tell stories, even in the most technical writing. I play saxophone and clarinet with local ensembles, and spend my free time mountain biking, skiing, and making furniture.
