- The thing that stands out the most about how my fellowship has changed me is my increased confidence. This confidence has spilled out into all areas of my work and personal life.
- In my work, I have improved my networking skills, and was awarded a $10,000 grant from the Goodwill organization to be used specifically for student needs at my school. This came about because I participated in a networking activity, that I would not have joined in prior to my Kenan Fellowship.
- In my classroom, I have set up a mentoring program, where students mentor each other in their work. It teaches the students how to teach others, and is improving their leadership skills. It is building their learning confidence, and increasing their engagement in the classroom. It also has allowed them to create relationships with one another.
- Working at Novozymes gave me the opportunity to see how diverse the jobs are in biotech. I learned that there are so many branches in biotech, and so many opportunities for our diverse students. It has been exciting to expose my students to this information.
