My Journey

Starting as an Assistant Professor, I faced the complexities of proposal writing while balancing the demands of academia. Securing an NSF CAREER Award was transformative for my research and career. Unlike many peers, I didn’t earn my Ph.D. in the U.S., which meant I had to learn the U.S. research system from the ground up. This experience gave me a unique perspective on navigating these systems and their expectations. Now, as an Associate Professor, I’m here to help you navigate your own journey with insight and empathy.

My Goal

I believe the key to a successful proposal lies in meticulous planning and clear communication. My goal is to help you articulate your ideas so that they resonate with reviewers and showcase the transformative potential of your research.

Why I Do This

Our planet needs innovative solutions, and I believe that your research could be the key to a better world. The NSF CAREER Award is a powerful platform to amplify your voice, and I’m here to guide you through the process.
