"As an international student at Philips Exeter, I initially felt quite lost. However, Dr. Chisholm and Ms. Rankin [Exeter teachers] introduced me to your Stan-Ex BIO470 program, which not only sparked my interest in science but also helped me see that such a career path is accessible. I became the first person in my family to attend college and I continued with Drosophila research on muscle dysfunction at Hopkins. Now, I’m pursuing a career as a physician-scientist. I credit much of my passion and direction to the curiosity and confidence instilled by the StanEx program."
