Celebrating Women in Science

With skills in robotics, programming, machining and more, Anh is forging a path of success in the male-dominated field of mechanical engineering. She began her academic career at Manchester Community College, earning an associate degree in advanced manufacturing technology while maintaining and teaching robots in MCC’s Advanced Data Management Technologies Lab. As an undergraduate in the mechanical engineering technology program at UNH Manchester, Anh explored shape fidelity and physical properties of hybrid polymers for 3D bioprinting processes as an intern at NH BioMade. She now works as a Manufacturing Automation Engineer at Welch Fluorocarbon Inc.

Isabelle was part of the Millyard Scholars Program and earned both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in biotechnology at UNH Manchester. As an undergraduate, she worked alongside biotech professor Dr. Kristen Johnson to analyze the role of several genes in the progression of pancreatic cancer and spent two years as a lab assistant in our on-site COVID testing lab. She now works as a Regulatory Affairs Associate at the Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute, which is creating an industry to regenerate human tissue and organs right down the street from our campus.

Born and raised in Ukraine, Yuliia came to the U.S. determined to use her passion and knowledge to help people. She always had an interest in neuroscience and psychology, so the neuropsychology program at UNH Manchester was the perfect fit. While pursuing her degree, Yuliia participated in research centering on anxiety in children and shadowed a neuropsychology technician as an intern at the Developmental Institute of New Hampshire. She now works as a Diagnostic Specialist/Psychometrist at ABA Centers of America, which provides Applied Behavior Analysis therapy to people with autism.
