Hi!
I’m Kaela S. Singleton!
I am a Black, Samoan, and Queer neuroscientist who works in the nonprofit sector. Currently, I’m a Director of Grants Managment as well as a co-founder and President of Black in Neuro. My expertise is in building processes, program management and developing community. The opportunity to examine, reshape and ultimately better the scientific community speaks to me on a personal level and matches the exact skills I’ve cultivated thus far as a scientist, educator, and mentor — hence the switch from bench to nonprofit! Please, don’t hesitate to reach out, always happy to talk to folks about my career, their career, and life in general!

“When you get these jobs that you have been so brilliantly trained for, remember your real job is that if you are free, you need to free somebody else. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else.”
- Toni morrison
I live by this Toni Morrison quote, and in my career, I earned numerous fellowships from NINDS, Burroughs Wellcome Fund, and NIGMS. Below is a link to those applications and reviews (including the application to my current job!). It is my pleasure to share these resources and help empower people. Please, don't hesitate to reach out. I'm always happy to chat, edit and review applications!
