Meet The Social Committee
 

"From the moment I arrived at Fox Chase, I was inspired by the dedication of our junior scientists and felt a strong desire to support in any way I could. Hosting social events has been a meaningful way to foster community, and I find that sense of connection both special and rewarding."

​

Fun fact: I play the violin and have been a member of many orchestras!

"I ultimately joined the Social Committee because I wanted to help foster a strong sense of community for trainees, like myself, here at Fox Chase Cancer Center."

​

Fun fact: I'm always up for trying new cuisines and hikes around Philadelphia!

"I have already been in a social committee during my PhD and I really liked it. I think it's important to have a good atmosphere at work so I wanted to join. And as a foreigner, I think it's cool to be able to meet people during the proposed activities."

​

Fun fact: I like to go hiking!

​

"I joined the Social Committee because I enjoy organizing events and bringing people together. I’m passionate about fostering a sense of community, creating opportunities for connection, and ensuring everyone feels included and engaged."

​

Fun fact: I enjoy reading and can spend hours getting lost in a good book.

"I joined the Social Committee because, as a foreigner, I deeply understand the value of belonging to a community. Moving to a new place can be challenging, and having a supportive network can make all the difference. My goal is to create opportunities for colleagues to come together, share moments, and grow."

​

Fun fact: I have visited 21 out of 63 USA national parks, and I aim to visit all.

"The Social Committee is great way to meet everyone at Fox Chase Cancer Center."

​

Fun fact: I am older than I look.

"I joined the Social Committee because I wanted to be involved in making Fox Chase a welcoming community where trainees feel at home. I enjoy brainstorming creative event ideas, and it gives me something to look forward to when life is feeling mundane."

​

Fun fact: I volunteered at a wildlife rescue during college. My favorite tasks included bottle feeding baby squirrels and deer, and hand-feeding injured birds. It was an experience like no other!

"I joined the Social Committee to help create a supportive community for trainees where they can feel connected and have fun! I love planning events where people actually show up for the snacks but leave thinking "Wow, that was fun!" :)"

Fun fact: I can’t resist petting every cat and dog I meet!
