Being an embryologist is a privilege. I get to witness the beginning of life and watch embryos grow in the lab to become blastocysts, which to this day, continues to fascinate me. As a scientist, I enjoy the demands and challenges of working in a field that is constantly evolving. I am proud to be part of a team that places a strong emphasis on innovation and development
