Her experience with being mentored as a new researcher at UND has also taught her how to be a mentor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll these experiences have been really valuable,\u201d she said. \u201cI want to take these lessons to build a good team that can be impactful for the public and set up good career development opportunities for people.
