Director of Finance
About Me: Originally from Myanmar, I moved to the United States to complete my undergraduate studies in Chemistry (B.S.) and Cell and Molecular Biology (B.S.) at the University of South Florida. After mastering Floridian Category 4 hurricanes, I decided to take on Minnesotan winters by joining U of M! Currently, I am a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate in the Chemistry Department, where my research focuses on engineering proteins for better therapeutics and greener biocatalysis. In addition to my role as Director of Finance at CIGS, I also currently serve as the Secretary for the Association of Multicultural Scientists (AMS).My Responsibilities: I will primarily be responsible for managing CIGS finances, including applying for funding needed for various CIGS events. Why I'm Passionate About CIGS: As an international student, I have faced unique challenges in academic, teaching, and social settings that differ from those of native or domestic students. I understand firsthand the complex and often frustrating situations that many international students encounter. Through CIGS, I want to foster a sense of community among international students, encouraging us to share our individual experiences to support one another. My goal in CIGS is to create a tangible and valuable resource for fellow international graduate students.Key Achievements:Director of Finance
I consider surviving Minnesotan winters and graduate school as my biggest achievements :)
I am a HUGE foodie! I am always down to try out new restaurants and cuisines, so if there are any recommendations, please feel free to holler at me!
