As summer comes to a close, we caught up with our incredible summer interns from the past few years to hear how things are going. First up, we’re excited to hear from Marly Jean-Francois, who interned with us during the summer of 2021 through Project Onramp, a Life Science Cares Boston initiative that provides access to paid internships to talented and motivated college students from under-resourced backgrounds, helping bridge the opportunity gap. During her time at PhagePro, Marly conducted analyses of the healthcare ecosystem in Bangladesh, providing us with valuable insights into our patient community. She effectively communicated her findings to our scientists, consistently advocating for patients and ensuring their needs remained central to our R&D process. Since then, Marly has achieved several milestones. She graduated early from University of Massachusetts Amherst, completing her degree a year ahead of schedule, and recently earned her master’s degree in Occupational Therapy from Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences this past May. While pursuing her studies, Marly also became certified in Early Education and Care, balancing both her education and work commitments. Despite her busy schedule, she continued to pursue her passion for travel, visiting Florida, New York, New Orleans, Mexico, and Aruba. Marly is now preparing for her board exams, and we couldn't be prouder of her accomplishments. Congratulations on all your success, Marly! We’re cheering for you! #PatientsFirst #GlobalHealth #RepresentationMatters #Internship #Biotech
Thank you for showcasing my accomplishments and continuing to be an amazing mentor!
