🌸So happy to share our latest Women Shaping the Future feature highlighting 𝗗𝗿. 𝗞𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗚𝗼𝗻𝘇𝗮́𝗹𝗲𝘇 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗿𝗮, Associate Dean for Graduate Student Engagement and Development at Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences!

💫A scientist, educator, mentor, and inspiring leader, Karina embodies the principles of servant leadership. Her commitment to students, faculty, and her team, along with her ability to bring people together and break down silos, makes her story one worth sharing.

We invite you to take a few minutes to read Karina’s journey, the people who helped shape her, and how she continues to open doors for others. 💜
