Co-chair @AAAS

Washington, DC, US

As a WLF Chair, I coordinate the planning and logistics of the WLF program in partnership with the Trachtenberg School Administration. We build community and leadership through two professional development retreats, monthly leadership pods, informational interviews, and networking events. Over the academic year, the Fellows focus on strength building, conflict resolution, verbal and nonverbal communication, goal setting, workplace confidence, and management skills. There are additional optional social, volunteer, and career development activities that members are encouraged to attend.
