In Tatiana’s time at Stony Brook, they plan on studying neurodevelopmental biology, neurological disorders, and cancer biology. In Tatiana's free time, they like to go to the gym, crochet, and play Roblox. Before becoming a Simons STEM Scholar, Tatiana participated in summer research under the McKinnon-Rosati Lab at Stony Brook University as a high school research assistant.
"I see myself as leader helping to increase the level of diversity in the STEM field and advocating for the mistreatment and disparities faced by minorities in the medical field."
"I chose to become a Simons STEM Scholar because of the amount of support I receive from the staff and my cohort. Having a community to lean on was an important factor in my decision because I knew I would need all the help I could get, and it's nice to be able to talk to people who know exactly what you are going through. I would not be doing the things I am doing today if it wasn't for this program."
