鈥淩ight now, the connection between psychology and neuroscience on the molecular level is very vague. I鈥檓 hoping that the gap between the two subjects can be bridged to help give us a better, more concrete understanding of psychology, which would lead to better forms of clinical therapy.鈥

鈥淭here are not many Black women who advance in my field behind the camera, especially in editing. While progress has definitely been made, it is still a majorly White, male-dominated field. My career doesn鈥檛 have to be the most prolific one, but I hope to be visible enough to be the representation I sorely needed when I was younger.鈥
