My name is Alriel Allen, and I am a chemistry major with a biochemistry concentration preparing for a future career in pharmacy. My journey has been shaped by resilience, academic dedication, and a strong Christian faith that guides my purpose. As a Black woman in STEM, I am committed to being a visible and empowering representative in fields where women who look like me are still underrepresented. I aspire to become both a pharmacist and an educator, using my platform to expand healthcare access, support underserved communities, and uplift the next generation of minority students in science. I believe God has called me to this path, and I am determined to walk it with excellence, integrity, and compassion.
