Class of 2020: Samantha Forestier

May 6, 2020
Samantha Forestier

Major: Biology

Hometown: Malden, MA

Key Experiences:

  • Research in Dr. Tamara Davis' epigenetics lab 
  • Posse Scholar
  • Study abroad at the University of Otago in New Zealand
  • Hall Advisor of Pembroke West 1st
  • BMC Crew Team 2016-2019
  • BMC Swim Team 2016-2018
  • Biology TA 

Post-grad plans: I'm moving to Atlanta Georgia to work as a research specialist in an epigenetics lab at Emory University. I'll be doing research to see how different cells in the central nervous system are affected by mutations in the CTCF protein and how this could contribute to the molecular causes of autism. 

I want to thank Dr. Tamara Davis for her guidance and mentorship over the past 4 years. Working in her lab has been an amazing opportunity. I also want to thank Dr. Greg Davis for being my Posse Mentor. The kindness and support that they have shown me over the past 4 years has allowed my time at Bryn Mawr to be full of wonderful experiences exciting opportunities.


Members of the Class of 2020, we want to hear from you! Drop us a note at news@brynmawr.edu.
