As a married mother of two and a first-generation college student, I am proud to be pursuing my dream of a career in science and public health. Returning to college has been both a challenging and rewarding journey, one driven by a deep desire to make a meaningful impact in my community. I am passionate about improving health outcomes, promoting education, and serving underserved populations. Financial support through a scholarship would help me continue my studies and move closer to a future where I can contribute directly to creating healthier communities and a more equitable healthcare system.
