Although I always knew I wanted to be a scientist, I didn't know I would become a cell biologist. Events in life that you would never have predicted can greatly impact your career trajectory. I have learned to let those events take me in new directions. Following a desire to investigate an understudied area of cell biology, I have found a niche. In this area, my lab is poised to contribute significantly toward understanding the fundamental molecular mechanisms underlying polarized plant cell growth.
虽然我一直知道自己想成为一名科学家，但我从未想过自己会成为一名细胞生物学家。生活中那些你从未预见到的事情会对你的职业轨迹产生重大影响。我学会了让这些事情带我走向新的方向。出于对细胞生物学一个研究不足领域进行研究的渴望，我找到了一个利基。在这个领域，我们实验室有望为理解植物细胞极性生长的基本分子机制做出重大贡献。
