TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF AND WHAT YOU DO

“I’ve always been into science and research, so I went into a field that indirectly helps medicine and patients. I previously did work as a Research Associate working with assay development, which is used in the diagnostics of certain illnesses. I now work as a Research Associate with Moderna in Boston, MA.”

TELL US WHY YOUR WORK MATTERS…

“Assays can help detect those who have been infected with Covid-19, so they are very important right now. Assays are also widely used to help identify which demographics would be helped most by a specific medicine or treatment.”

WHAT UNIQUE PERSPECTIVES DO DREAMERS BRING TO THEIR WORK?

“As an immigrant, I bring a sense of urgency. I feel like since our work authorizations are time limited, I want to get as much done as possible both in my professional and personal life.”
