Abstract: At times the world can seem incredibly frightening and unfathomably exciting. Dr. Frausto will share her journey as a pre-scientist and formerly undocumented immigrant navigating the world through storytelling to get through her early education to her current chosen field of formulation chemistry and data analytics. She will share the powerful tool of storytelling, mentorship, and service and how they helped shape her world and got her through to today. She will give examples of hope, experience, and strength for those early career and mid-career scientists, and anyone who is asking what they truly want to do today.
