Bio

As a prospective first-generation college student of color from a low-income family, my journey to higher education has not been easy. I am a highly motivated student with big dreams and high ambitions. I am interested in the STEM field and plan to major in biomedical engineering and minor in psychology and marketing for fun. However, I am very indecisive and would love to go into nursing as well. I aim to attend medicine school after working in the biomedicine industry or as a travel nurse for a few years to pay off my debt. My end goal is to become a psychiatrist, as it strongly aligns with my passion for advocating for mental health.
