“What I am hearing as a new person to the research enterprise aligns with the Diversity & Inclusion assessments and strategic plans created before my arrival,” says Emily. “I am still having these conversations and still have many more people to meet and talk to. I look forward to prospects of meeting and talking to everyone across the GTRI enterprise and at Georgia Tech."
