      Why is research important in the world today?<\/b><\/p>\n

      Research is what propels bench science and social science forward. The foundation of science is asking questions about the world around you and then seeking answers to better understand those things that matter to you. Research promotes skills in critical thinking, reading, writing, analyzing and sharing valuable tested information. No matter what career field you are in or how high up you are, there is always more to learn. The same applies to your personal life. No matter how many experiences you have or how diverse your social circle, there are things you do not know. Research unlocks those unknowns, lets you explore the world from different perspectives, and fuels a deeper understanding.<\/p>\n

      My research will make a difference because:<\/b><\/p>\n

      Effective interprofessional teamwork processes are at the heart of health care. Promoting these collaborative concepts and health careers options to the next generation of health care providers is appealing to youth. The goal is improving the pool of providers that reflect our population, so they can improve the experience of care for individuals they treat.<\/p>\n

      The best advice I\u2019ve ever received is:<\/b> Whatever you do, do it well, be kind and teach it to others. Those who matter will notice, and great opportunities will follow.<\/p>\n

      Three things you may not know about me are:\u00a0 \u202f<\/b><\/p>\n

      • I was raised by an aunt, but I call her “Mom.”<\/li>\n
      • I speak several languages.<\/li>\n
      • I enjoy taking road trips guided by paper maps and discovering hidden gems in different cities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
