Hi, my name is Rhoda, and I am a driven and passionate individual planning to pursue Biological Sciences or Biomedical Engineering. I’ve always had a passion for medicine since I was a little child, because I have always envisioned myself helping my community and people all over the world. My parents kindled my love for medicine and my education by allowing me to attend a predominantly POC middle school in Manhattan that helped shape my skills later on in life. I eventually applied to boarding schools across the East Coast, and I recently graduated from an all-girls boarding school in Wellesley, Massachusetts, Dana Hall School, where I maintained a 90% GPA while playing two varsity-level sports (Volleyball and Basketball) and JV Lacrosse. I became extremely dedicated to the sports I pursued, eventually making the Varsity teams of 2 out of the 3 sports I play. I currently live in Long Island with my parents and four siblings, as my older brothers currently attend colleges along the East Coast, my little sister attends a boarding school in Connecticut, and my little brother attends a private middle school in Times Square. Education has always been a large priority within my Christian Nigerian household; they have taught me to be educated, determined, social, and kind in all aspects of my life. I will continue to use my skills as I will attend George Washington University in the fall as a freshman, on track to graduate in the Spring of 2029. I'm dedicated to using my bubbly and kind personality to succeed within the many communities I partake in.
