Hi!
Hi! I’m Kaela S. Singleton—a Black, Samoan, and Queer neuroscientist dedicated to bridging science and social impact.
As a Director of Grants Management and co-founder of Black in Neuro, I channel my expertise in program development, process optimization, and community building to create a more inclusive and equitable scientific landscape. My journey from the lab bench to the nonprofit world reflects my deep commitment to reshaping systems, fostering meaningful connections, and empowering underrepresented voices in science.
Recognized by National Geographic, Forbes Magazine, and Vox, I thrive at the intersection of science, advocacy, and leadership. Whether you're interested in collaborating, exploring speaking opportunities, or simply connecting, I’d love to hear from you! Let’s work together to build stronger, more inclusive communities.

“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
This Toni Morrison quote has been a guiding principle in my life and career. Through fellowships from the NINDS, Burroughs Wellcome Fund, and NIGMS, I gained the tools and earned opportunities to not only advance my own journey but also to uplift others. Below, you’ll find links to my fellowship applications, reviews, resume/CV and even the application for my current role. I’m thrilled to share these resources to help empower the next generation of scientists and changemakers.
Whether you need advice, application feedback, or just a friendly chat, I’m here to help. Don’t hesitate to reach out—I’m always happy to connect, edit, and support you in achieving your goals!
