Congratulations to Sonia Patel, the first place winner of the Spring 2020 Excellence in Communication essay contest! This year’s contest asked participants to “Identify a female innovator and describe how her contribution to STEM inclusion impacts your goals and career.” Sonia wrote about Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson, President of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
Sonia is a 2nd-year PhD student at UT MD Anderson working Dr. John Heymach's lab. Her research primarily focuses on asking the question: what drives immunotherapy resistance in EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer? She was born and raised in San Jose, California and received her undergraduate degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY. In her spare time, she enjoys hiking, cooking, running, and community service.
