Background

About Adair Conlin

Hello! I am a current educator who has spent the last six years in the classroom. Though I love my students and will be forever grateful for the experiences and knowledge I have gained throughout my teaching career, I am presently in the process of returning to school to make a career change to genetic counseling. I am currently pursuing a degree in Biological Sciences at Arizona State University with a concentration in genetics, cell, and developmental biology, and I plan to apply for genetic counseling master’s programs in the 2027 admissions cycle. I am actively seeking opportunities to connect with current genetic counselors and gain hands-on experience through internships and volunteer work in the areas of patient care, advocacy, and counseling; and professional shadowing of current genetic counselors, particularly in the specialties of prenatal, laboratory, cancer, and specialty diseases. In my teaching career, I developed my skills in simplifying complex topics and fostering understanding, which I believe will be crucial in explaining genetic and health information to patients and families. I am eager to combine my developing knowledge of the sciences with my passions for education and helping others, and to contribute to the growing field of genetic counseling and personalized medicine. I’m excited to learn more about the genetic counseling field and would love to connect with professionals who can offer guidance, share experiences, or collaborate on opportunities to further my knowledge and skills.
