I Like My Career Because

“My research in the ethical, legal and social implications (ELSI) of genetic research has an impact on Native Americans and their communities.  I assist in the recruitment of Native American students to study genome sciences. My job ties many different areas together, such as biology, sociology, anthropology, and law.“

​

 

Why I Chose This Career

“I was exposed to research opportunities that were supported by the National Human Genome Research Institute of the NIH. After understanding that I could assist with bridging the gap between the scientific community and Native Americans in genetic/ genomic research by serving as an ambassador, I began to work on different ways to improve understanding of the risks and benefits of genetic/genomic research.”
