Show Notes

Hello! My name is Esha Mathur. I am a rising junior at the University of Arizona. I am majoring in Biology with an emphasis in Biomedical Sciences, and minoring in Pharmaceutical Sciences. Since the summer of 2022, I have been working with Dr. Julie Armin to understand how policies affect cancer care access for individuals with Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities (IDD). My time in Dr. Armin’s lab inspired me to do my part to aid this marginalized community. Last year, I began working with autistic children as a behavior technician. I have gotten to see first-hand the challenges individuals with IDD and their families face. I hope to continue to make a positive difference in the IDD community both in and outside of the lab! In my free time, I love exploring Tucson’s hiking trails with my dog, Buddy. My favorite is Tanque Verde Falls, where there are almost always pools of water to enjoy! I also love making jewelry. You can often catch me making a pair of earrings at a local coffee spot!
