Danielle Reid ’17
Postdoctoral Research Associate
The hands-on research opportunities at Fisher created an intersection of opportunities for Danielle Reid. Originally thinking she would work in the medical field, Reid changed lanes while conducting developmental biology research. “Fisher helped me realize that there was another path to helping people in the medical field through research.”
As a presenter at the first Annual Student Research and Creative Work Symposium, Reid was able to share her studies with others and this sparked her curiosity in additional research opportunities. “I decided to pursue a career in academia because I want to inspire students to become passionate about science and to view learning as an opportunity to grow.”
Based on her experiences, Reid wholeheartedly recommends the Fisher experience. “Studying at Fisher will undoubtedly increase your academic and career opportunities.” She believes the University cultivates a sense of community where “you feel at home, and also, the food at Fisher is amazing.”
