Malcolm X said, “Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.” As an immigrant, a German-Nigerian woman, and the first in my family to attend medical school, I advocate for socially invisible or otherwise alienated healthcare populations through contextualized evidence-based care models. My prior work with refugees at the Bellevue Program for Survivors of Torture, where I served as a Patient Advocate for two years, only strengthened this resolve. Originally from a small farming community in Northwestern Germany, I moved to the United States as a little girl. Having lived both domestically and abroad in rural, urban, and suburban environments, I am a global citizen and advocate for the transformative power of higher education inside and outside the classroom. My childhood dream has always been to become a doctor, however, my academic and extracurricular passions remain broad. During high school, I captained various sports teams, earned my Varsity Letter, and published and presented research in aquatic microbiology. In college, I wrote my senior thesis in vertebrate paleontology using digitized fossil collections, computer-aided design software, and statistical modeling software. Thank YOU, dear Bold.org donors, for helping me to make my lifelong dream of higher education a reality.
