The McNulty Fellows Program provided me with the resources and relationships I needed to excel as a woman in STEM. The relationships that I developed with my peers in this program as well as with my incredibly talented mentor, Dr. Catalina Arango, have shaped who I am today. Dr. Arango is still to this day someone I can go to when I am in need of advice or feedback in my career.

The McNulty Program was truly a catalyst for what has become a deep passion for advocating for women in STEM, particularly in computer science. While I've been involved in various initiatives beyond the McNulty Program in graduate school and professionally, I always relish the opportunity to continue supporting the McNulty community, whether it's informal meetings with current scholars or the chance to serve on the program's selection committee.

The McNulty Program gave me the opportunity to work closely with my research mentor Dr. Tudor in her lab. There, I not only developed my own project and great research skills, but I also formed a valuable mentor relationship that’s continued since graduation.
