who is Dr. Sandoozi

She encouraged us to pay attention to the inner voice that guides us toward what we love, even if the path ahead seems uncertain. She shared that when she first told people she wanted to do the kind of work Mary Poppins did—uplifting others with kindness, creativity, and emotional support—many didn’t take her seriously. But instead of giving up, she used their doubts as fuel to keep going.

She also spoke about the challenges she faced throughout her academic and professional life, especially as a woman in a rigorous scientific field. But she reminded us that setbacks are not signs to quit—they are moments to pause, reflect, and grow stronger.
