Alumni Spotlight

“My time at MD Anderson UTHealth Houston Graduate School was invaluable in preparing me for my career as a medical physicist. My advisor provided me with technical learning opportunities that shaped me into a successful scientist and encouraged me to build my interpersonal skills as well. I appreciated the funding I received to support my research and personal life. As a Kopchick Fellow, I was able to build invaluable leadership skills and present my research internationally. I am proud to be an alumna.”
