Bio

Hi there! My name is Precious and I will be studying Biology in college in the Fall of 2021. I like science, cooking foods/ trying out new food recipes, a little bit of art, and music. Through my songs, I hope to show the beauty of music through a different medium and reach as many people as possible! Most times, I do little research about things I find curious because I am a very inquisitive person and love to know a little bit about everything. My goal is to inspire people from all backgrounds to be successful and also inspire women to be in STEM! As a low-income, this goal might seem difficult to achieve, but regardless of what obstacle I might face( Finance for education One of my long-term goals is to become a role model in my country of origin, Nigeria and change the gender stereotypes of woman in STEM.When I graduate college, I would love to attend medical school and prove to people that being a woman doesn’t stop you from going into STEM. I hope to show other girls the great things that come from pursuing your dreams and give them the motivation to overcome any obstacle.
