It is with immense gratitude … I will be spending the next two years … I am excited to finally announce … that I have accepted a Global Patient Safety and Risk Management Fellowship with Alnylam Pharmaceuticals and Northeastern University.

Posting that was an out-of-body experience. Not because I did not think I would get a fellowship—I worked incredibly hard to be an undeniable candidate on and off my CV. It was because I never saw this part. The celebration, the triumph, and the peace of getting high enough to see where the path is heading. The reality is the pursuit of STEM as a Palestinian American. Arab. Muslim. Woman. is a lonely path. I am happiest knowing I can now be a guidepost. You are on the right track if you:

The key takeaway of my story: I am an international student from Hong Kong. If I can do it, you can definitely do it too! Nothing is impossible if you are determined enough!

What did you learn as you went through the fellowship interview process?
Being an international student trying to get a fellowship offer has come with many doubts and challenges, but I truly believe that you can do anything if you are determined enough. After going through this process, I also learned that being genuine in your answers during an interview helps you stand out from others because everyone has a unique story about why they want to pursue a career in the pharmaceutical industry and what they did in the past.
