However, with the added responsibility of being a mother, she had to find a way to balance her time and energy between taking care of her child and doing her research.

“I had this my first daughter while I was still doing my PhD. I remember I had to take her with me to the lab because I had to finish up experiments and start writing,” he said in an interview.
“So I would go to the lab with her during the day and at night, I was getting almost no sleep because I would put her to sleep, and that’s when I would sit down to write my thesis.” She added.
