Meet Sarah
My journey into physics and physics teaching followed a long and winding road. As an undergraduate, I tried a few different majors ranging from pre-med to engineering, when I finally landed on physics, but I wasn’t sure what I would do with the physics degree. One of my professors took notice of my abilities in research and asked me to work with her in her lab, which went so well that I decided to pursue a Ph.D. with her as my advisor. She taught me how to be an influential researcher and teacher, and she inspired me to be a mentor to my physics students.
