One must work hard in life to attain what they long for. Having attended 10 schools since kindergarten, I have always had to go the extra mile. I am pursuing a degree in both chemical and biomolecular engineering. I would like to use my education to engender social progress while simultaneously promoting innovation. I am passionate about Christ, STEM and Music, and I also like to learn about the political process; interestingly, I submitted questions to the Presidential Debates in 2020.

Having said that, Black individuals are gravely underrepresented in this field. This is because Black individuals have limited access to quality STEM resources. Hopefully, I will change that with my online resource.
