About (request update)

I grew up in a loving, though not perfect, household that taught me perseverance, humility, and compassion. In college, I’ve embraced rigorous academics, leadership roles, and community service, turning challenges into opportunities for growth. My experiences have strengthened my problem-solving skills, adaptability, and dedication to uplifting others. I’m committed to using my education and skills to create meaningful change, inspire resilience, and help others realize their potential—proving that success is not just about personal achievement, but about the impact you leave on those around you.

Current Whereabouts:

Right now, I’m focused on expanding my knowledge in science and healthcare while exploring career paths that align with my strengths and passions. I enjoy learning through hands-on experiences, whether in the classroom, volunteering, or working, and I’m committed to building skills that will prepare me for a future in a service-oriented profession.

Life & Professional Aspirations:

I aspire to build a career in a field that allows me to combine my passion for science with my desire to help others. While I am currently exploring two potential paths—physician assistant and forensic anthropologist—I am leaning toward becoming a physician assistant. Both careers require strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and a commitment to improving lives, qualities I strive to develop through my education and experiences. Regardless of the path I choose, my ultimate goal is to make a meaningful impact in my community and beyond.

Education (request update)

Delaware State University class of 2026

Claim To Fame:

I’ve built a reputation for blending academic excellence with genuine community impact. Whether it’s excelling in challenging STEM courses, mentoring peers, or leading service initiatives, I’ve made it my mission to not only achieve my own goals but to help others rise with me. My drive, resilience, and commitment to making a difference have become my signature traits on campus.

Most Memorable Moment:

Some of my most memorable moments in college have come from the connections I’ve built and the milestones I’ve achieved along the way. Presenting research I worked tirelessly on, celebrating academic victories with friends, and giving back to my community through service projects. Each experience has shaped me into a more confident, compassionate, and determined version of myself.
