Bio

My plan in life is to become an anesthesiologist and help mentor others. I will major in Chemistry and minor in Biology. Currently, my mentor is an anesthesiologist who has taught me and guided me in the right direction. Her goal is to pass on her knowledge, my goal will be the same. I feel education is important, so mentoring not only my nephews and nieces, but young minds starting in grade school is critical. I am passionate about helping others, which is why volunteerism is so important to me. I come from a large family that volunteers together. My family has always taught me by actions, for example, giving back to the community, being a good person, and having respect for others. I enjoy a good movie or walking through the Museum of Science and Industry and reading all the small quotes and tags. I really enjoy watching all sports with my dad especially when we are rooting for opposing teams. I am passionate about football, baseball and basketball. I love listening to music and sitting with my mom working on puzzles having long talks. I have participated in travel softball most of my life. I also volunteer on my high school softball team. We help incoming freshmen feel at ease entering high school by having a day of softball. "I can't" is a word that can never be used in my household. So I have always envisioned success no matter the odds. My goal in life is to learn all I can. Exprerience has taught me life can throw anything at you, so make the most of it.

    • Dream career goals:

      My career path became evident during a period of personal reflection when I witnessed my mother’s battle with cancer, which illuminated my future career path. As I watched her anesthesiologist play a pivotal role in not only managing her pain but also offering immense emotional support, I knew what I was destined to do. Throughout my academic career, I will work my way through undergrad and medical school to become an anesthesiologist. Through my work, I will ensure that other patients receive exceptional care under my watch while also being culturally competent to address the needs of women. A critical global issue that I’m passionate about addressing is the underrepresentation of Black women in anesthesiology. As I progress in my journey, I plan to mentor and support other women aspiring to enter this sector, providing the guidance, encouragement, and resources needed to help them succeed.
