About (request update)

I'm a biology major at South Carolina State University with a focus in oncology and on the pre-med track. I�m passionate about helping people, especially those in underserved communities, and I want to become a doctor to make a real difference. My goal is to use my education and experiences to advocate for better healthcare access and to give back through both medicine and outreach.

Current Whereabouts:

I�m passionate about leaving my mark by making a meaningful difference in the lives of others. I enjoy mentoring and community outreach, especially supporting young women. In my free time, I love golfing, cooking, and baking activities that help me relax and stay creative. Above all, I�m driven by the desire to inspire and empower those around me.

Life & Professional Aspirations:

My goal is to become a pediatric neurologist, specializing in diagnosing and treating neurological disorders in children. I�m passionate about helping young patients and their families navigate complex medical challenges with care and understanding. Professionally, I aim to advance research and improve treatments for pediatric neurological conditions, especially in underserved communities. Beyond medicine, I want to inspire and support youth through mentorship and community outreach, helping them achieve their dreams and live healthier lives.
