Hello!
I'm a Laboratory Microbiologist currently working at the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygeine (NYCDOHMH).
As I started working on my Masters of Science in Computer Science at the Georgia Institute of Technology, the COVID-19 pandemic hit.
I Graduated in December 2021 after working full-time in the HIV Department and part-time in the Mycobacteriology department while also supporting the COVID-19 testing efforts.
