Courtney’s commitment to science and mentorship was unparalleled. As a researcher, she pushed the boundaries of experimental design to more closely mirror real-world scenarios, with the ultimate goal of applying her findings to address real-world problems. As a mentor, she challenged her mentees to become the best versions of themselves, often recognizing their full potential even when they couldn’t see it themselves. Courtney brought so much goodness into the world and touched so many lives. She will surely be missed by many, but her impact will live on through everyone she inspired.
