My ultimate career goal is to become a pediatrician who provides compassionate medical care while also serving as a voice for underrepresented communities in healthcare. I am currently pursuing my degree at Hampton University, an HBCU that has given me the foundation and confidence to follow my passion for science and service. My love for children and desire to make a difference in their lives has guided my decision to pursue pediatrics. I want to be the kind of doctor who not only heals but also educates and uplifts families, especially those from communities that often lack access to quality healthcare. Growing up, I didn’t see many doctors who looked like me or shared my background. That motivated me to become part of the change I want to see. Representation in medicine matters because it helps build trust, understanding, and hope. As a Black woman in STEM, I want to show others that they, too, can achieve their dreams regardless of where they come from. Outside of academics, I’m deeply involved in leadership and community work. I currently serve as the President of the She Leads Initiative, where I help empower young women to embrace leadership roles, and I’m also the President of the Zeta Phi Beta Youth Archonettes. In addition, as the Community Service Officer of NJROTC, I’ve learned how important it is to give back and serve with purpose. Through my education and future career, I hope to combine my passion for science, service, and mentorship to make healthcare more equitable and to inspire the next generation of Black and Brown youth to pursue careers in STEM. I truly believe that by giving back, we create a cycle of empowerment that transforms communities from within!
