Outside of academia, Ella trains on aerial dance apparatuses, plays Dungeons & Dragons, and spends time in the great outdoors with her friends and partner. Aymee Dale Steidl – Nursing Science University of Washington Pamela H. & Donald W. Mitchell ARCS Endowment in Nursing Science (7th) Aymee received a master’s degree in Nursing from Johns Hopkins University and a master’s degree in Anthropology from Colorado State University. In her professional career she has explored research and teaching in both anthropology and nursing, as well as practiced clinically as a pediatric RN. Through these experiences she has fallen in love with pediatric nursing. Aymee aims to improve pediatric health outcomes through her PhD research at UW, where she will explore cultural understandings of illness representation within the pediatric population. She strives to include culture as a social determinant of health and wants to expand on the understanding that culture impacts pediatric illness. She is passionate about bridging the gap between anthropology and nursing in the health care setting and is a member of the Counsel on Nursing and Anthropology (CONAA). In her free time, Aymee loves being outdoors and adventuring with her family.

Natalie Sturm – Crop & Soil Sciences Washington State University Washington Research Foundation (129th) Natalie Sturm grew up in suburban Chicago with no real ties to agriculture but a passion for the environment. At age 13, after taking a class that discussed the linkages between environmental quality and human nutrition to farming, she knew she had found her calling. She wanted to farm and help others farm in a way that improved the environment, human health, and farmers’ livelihoods. Natalie became involved in as many aspects of agriculture she could - from 4-H to working on farms to conducting agricultural research as an undergraduate at Montana State University where she earned a bachelor’s degree in Agroecology. During her master’s program in Plant and Soil Science at South Dakota State University, she channeled her passion into a goal to solve agronomic and environmental issues through research and promoting effective farm-management practices. When Natalie’s not farming or researching, she enjoys gardening, board games, skiing, and hiking. Kirsten Thompson – MD/PhD - Molecular & Cellular Biology University of Washington Washington Research Foundation ARCS Endowment (132nd) Kirsten received a bachelor’s degreee in Bioengineering and master’s degree in Biology from Stanford University. She is currently a trainee in the University of Washington dual MD/PhD program, where she is pursuing a graduate degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology with a focus in cancer immunology and drug design. For her graduate research, she is interested in using de novo computational protein design as a tool to probe immune cell signaling and improve targeting and activation of Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies for various cancers. Ultimately, Kirsten aims to pursue a career in academic medicine, both as a practicing pediatric oncologist and as a principal investigator of a translational research laboratory. Outside of her research, Kirsten is passionate about K-college STEM education and outreach, volunteering in community health clinics, playing the string bass, hiking, and kayaking.

Robert Trujillo – Biostatistics University of Washington Ronald & Darlene Howell ARCS Endowment, UW (1st) Robert received a bachelor's degree from California State University Channel Islands, where he double majored in Computer Science and Mathematics, with a concentration in Statistics. At Channel Islands, Robert had the opportunity to work closely with faculty in a variety of research areas, from an observational study of educational outcomes to using machine learning in drug development, the latter of which involved industry collaboration with Amgen. Robert is excited to be attending UW to pursue a doctorate in Biostatistics, where he hopes to leverage his statistical training and programming experience into impactful interdisciplinary research that can benefit others at scale. Robert aspires to become a professor of Biostatistics and serve as a role model and ally to other underrepresented students. He enjoys road trips, classical guitar, and hiking. Marita White – Molecular Plant Sciences Washington State University ARCS Seattle Chapter Marita White was born and raised in St. Paul, Minnesota, where she also earned bachelor's degrees in Biology and Biochemistry from Bethel University. At WSU, she will conduct research on club wheat to improve its aluminum tolerance, as well as investigate the role of soil microorganisms in aluminum tolerance in wheat. Her personal interests, apart from plants, include dragonflies, fishing, playing violin, being outdoors, and reading. Fun fact: Marita shares a birthday with her older sister, even though they are not twins.

Lauren Wilner – Epidemiology University of Washington Charles & Delphine Stevens Family Foundation ARCS Endowment (2nd) Lauren received a bachelor’s degree in International Relations and Community Health and a master’s degree of Public Health in Epidemiology and Biostatistics from Tufts University. She has worked in a variety of research settings, ranging from evaluating cost-effectiveness and effectiveness of global nutrition programs to statistical modeling of global birth defects. As a fellow with the Centers for Disease Control, she also spent time designing and implementing programs and coursework to train epidemiologists in West Africa. Lauren’s research interests include using novel methods including machine learning and causal inference to answer public health questions, particularly those related to the pregnancy outcomes, the built environment, and nutrition. She is passionate about using data to drive decision-making that optimizes health and minimizes disability. In her free time, Lauren loves hiking, skiing, and kayaking with her dog. Naomi Yamamoto – MD/PhD - Molecular & Cellular Biology University of Washington Julie Tall ARCS Endowment (7th) Naomi graduated from the University of Chicago with a bachelor’s degree in Chemistry in 2019. She is currently in the Medical Scientist Training Program at the UW, earning her MD/PhD. Naomi’s research focuses on cancer biology, specifically understanding the molecular events that make some cancers more aggressive than others. She hopes to identify new therapeutic targets to improve current treatment and further our understanding of the fundamental biology underlying cancer initiation and metastasis. Naomi works in Sita Kugel’s lab at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, focusing on pancreatic cancer. She hopes to eventually practice as a medical oncologist and head her own research lab. In her free time, Naomi enjoys reading, fencing, and baking.

Jina Yoon – Computer Science & Engineering University of Washington Margaret Breen & Stewart Landefeld (4th) Jina graduated from Brown University in 2018 with dual degrees in Computer Science and Modern Culture & Media. She grew up gaming her entire life and is inspired to create systems that encourage people to be nicer to each other on the internet. Especially in an era where information is so widely available online, she believes that researching and designing social systems with empathy and equity is key to reducing issues like polarization, toxicity, and misinformation. Jina loves teaching, mentoring, and learning, and is excited to continue her studies at UW after three years of working at Microsoft and Riot Games. In the past, she has published papers on online community moderation and personal health tracking. She aims to be a lifelong learner by continuing in academia after graduate school and becoming a research professor. Jina loves playing video games, reading psychology books, listening to music, and going to the gym.
