Her transition to a focus on research education and program leadership has allowed her to engage in a non-conventional academic role that involves meaningful mentorship, scholarship and academic exploration. Dr. Smolock will discuss motivations for her career transition and how her interactions with students. postdocs, and faculty shaped her goals of working in education and diversity initiatives.
