Bio

I'm a full-time mom of two special needs young boys and I resumed my education 3 years ago as a full-time student, and Biochemistry major, minoring in Physics and Medical Sciences. Learning and growing is a daily pursuit of mine, and my dream is to earn a PhD. in Medical Biophysics, to continue my research, and advance in a STEM career. My boys love the sciences too, and I'm trying my best to be the best role model and inspiration for them. We've had a rough time, and I want to show them what you can accomplish with perseverance and determination.

To utilize my inherent sense of curiosity, passion for science, and improving the lives of others, toward making significant contributions in medical biophysics, pharmacology, and/or genetic research in order to improve patient outcomes and quality of life. I eventually want to become a professor later on in my career, but when all is said and done, this has always been about providing for my children the kind of lives they've always deserved. I feel that the intersectionality of all the sciences that I pursue is a critical component of my goals.
