When did your love of STEM begin?

When I was 12, I was gifted a microscope -- this sparked my curiosity about science! At the same time, my younger brother was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome, which has encouraged me to pursue medicine.

What is the best part about working in the field of STEM?

I love being able to solve problems and work with a team to get things done! I also love learning more about the world around us.
